VV Cephei star

[SnipeXDUDE]

Pretty cool dude!

[superbosta2]

i wanted to be able to step on that star ;/ hope humanity ever finds a way to trip 3000 light years in not much time and also construct a super resistant armor in wich u dont die wen u step there

[ChickenLickenPR2]

Might be cool to see the largest star ever known :\

[theimmortal8265]

how could scientists know how big VV cephei is from such a long distance????

[anton854]

@theimmortal8265 by a method called Parallax, you first find out the distance to the object/star then wait until the earth is on the other side of the sun (180 grades from the original point) and mesure the distance again the difference in these two mesurments is the size of the object.

This is how i understod that :P

Just google Parallax ;)

0:51

Red stars and Pinkish stars - around 3500 degress

Orange stars and Yellow stars - around 5000 to 7500 degress

Blue stars - around 8000 degress

[DiaryOfATedlyKid]

@SpongeyLego Fahrenheit or Centrigrade or Kelvin?

[SpongeyLego]

@DiaryOfATedlyKid Centigrade

[TheCoco47]

what would happen if this thing exploded would we be destroyed?

[SpongeyLego]

@TheCoco47 no

[wengneuda13]

how do I find ursa major then ursa minor then cephus

[xxFolite]

VV seipheis apparent magnitude is alot less than the suns though obviously ;o

[MyJim1111]

is gets hot in the summer their took the kids their last time

[MikeKain95]

we could possibly be just 1 atom in 1 bigger mans ass lol and it just keeps going on like that lolololol

[electrocat1]

@MikeKain95, Mabye!

[666fannyfart]

You EGGHEADS dont know what your talking about........you think this stuff is big try leaving this galaxy then maybe we can talk.

[shutup735]

@666fannyfart this crap, is NOTHING, hell, our universe might be, NOTHING

[pyrea17]

@666fannyfart Size is relative. To us it's big.

[TedLee810]

what's "Kelvin???

[DeepGrey]

It's a temperature scale that is sometimes used in science.

temp. in Kelvin = temp. in Celsius + 273

[peteboucher7]

0 Kelvin being -273 Degrees celcius, Absolute 0. The lowest temperature recorded by science

[MH20Zone]

brr music, but i rlly love those stars n those and i always wonder " why the fuk we son of a bitches ppl must live" lol cuz i know sum ppl they should not live actually =/

[pentica]

does anyone have a relieve positioning of this star i cant find it on microsoft worldwide telescope

i can locate mu cephi but VV cephi isnt listed

[generaleskimo]

VY Canis is bigger... a fact which most people seem to ignore.

[exitboy2012]

why is it called binary star system? Am I suppose to see a 2nd star there?

[Miss6Nintendo]

Yes

[villiger2]

it has a twin dw cephei i think

[TedLee810]

yeah, it's a binary star.

[quakize]

its very far away it could of exploded since light takes so long to reach us.

[pwner2000mmib]

the pistol star is heavier than vy canis majoris and belteguese put together.

[Kylelol11]

The reason VV cephai would be cooler than the sun is because the sun's power is focused into a smaller area, ans VV Cephei's power is spread out...ALOT...making it a bit cooler than the sun

[allxtar]

no...actually you are damn WRONG...the only reaso is beacause the star is a super red giant star and its burning his last fuel...so is very lighty but its very worm

[revilo178]

actually if it is half a million times as bright as the sun then it obviously produces half a million times as much energy. so Kylelol11 is right.

[shutup735]

@Kylelol11 yes but its a red giant, meaning its not using as much energy, its brighter then the sun, but with less energy, it can be cooler, so there are 2 reasons

[frooben]

you dumb ass! cephei isn't a red giant! Is it red? no! red giants aren't as bright too! how can something be more bright but use less energy? dumb shit mother fucker.

[shutup735]

@frooben

you calling me a dumb shit mother fucker because...? and you fucked your 2 dads last night because...?

[charliewecker]

@frooben Have you ever heard of an LED? They use less energy than most Incandescent light bulbs. Here's an example for comparison: A man is holding a 50 watt, 4500 lumen flashlight at you, and another man is holding a mirror that is reflecting the sun. The man with the mirror hurts your eyes more to look at (for obvious reasons). Which man is using less energy?

[pyrea17]

@frooben dude, it's a red supergiant

[pyrea17]

@frooben dude, it's a red supergiant and how can you say that it isn't red? Have you seen it up close? What you are looking at is a computer screen.

[fligypoo]

that compunter simulation is from celestia

[29Hz]

2360 kelvin? That's pretty damn hot. So what temperature is required to melt glass and what is the comparison in Celcius or Centigrade?

[kalkinas1]

VV cephei is a bbinary star and 1 star is blue the other red

[neogambro]

'Here is it"

[jesseZR]

whats thew song called i try to look it up but cant find it

[revilo178]

look at the bottom of the comment thread

[jesseZR]

its sumthing lik 6,000,000,000, km round

[magicn3ss]

3 billion km in diameter..it would take a commercial airliner travelling at 900km/h 1100 yrs to revolve it once

[LOLLERSHELT]

Big!

[mohammeddavis]

Okay you jailhouse astronomers, this is news to me.

[ilkkavu]

it's very big by size, but not that big by mass.

[xilefakamot]

Celestia?

[alooper21]

yes. wonderfull program, just wonderfull!

[tarekyeerum2006]

horrible v v cephei....

[niceguya1ways]

I always thought VV Cephei was a blue hyper giant. But seeing its temperature is only 3300 & 3650k i guess i was wrong.

[GTAstuntman101]

you ARE WRONG, because VV Cephi is a BINARY star

[niceguya1ways]

Gee thanks for that Captian Obvious !!

[N4teTheGreat]

This video is dumb because half the stuff was wrong.

[GTAstuntman101]

all facts are true, u just had a fault with your research

[rsgrievous10]

really Ursa major is bigger and that was the plough or big dipper is one part of Ursa major

[Greendeath507]

what song is this?

[stormcsss]

AirPlay - Go!

[GraveDohl]

and its shit!

[jesseZR]

his is annoying i cant find this song any were lol if u mind could give me a link to it on youtube or sumthing or send it to me by email or sumthing would be very apreciated ty

[Hypotetiske]

Good video, enjoyable. all the facts were spot on! =]
