@MrBBody10 That statement was correct, VY Canis Majoris is the largest star and 1 billion suns can fit inside it. But this is insignificant, as we are talking about mass, not size.
For those of you who don't know, a pulsar is basically a star, that has been compressed and squished down to the size of a medium sized city. One sugar cube sized lump of pulsar would weigh as much as every human on the planet earth, if put onto a scale.
anyone who said VY Canis Majoris is more massive you just googled biggest star and you suck because your are making comments on astronomy and astronomical terms witch you know nothing about (thats like me telling Lionel Messie how to play football) R136a1 is the most massive star and will most probably become a Black hole when it dies (Black Holes are still a mystery but we will figure it out one day but probably not in my life time or yours)
@VenomessProductions In size this star is small compared to VY Canis Majoris (The Largest star known to man) this video is showing the most Massive star (Most particles) because although VY Canis Majoris is Larger the Particles are more loosely packed to put this in lay-mens terms.
@HitaCrepStudios The video or title never said anything about R136a1 being the biggest star... VY Canis Majoris was discovered before this one, this one has never surpassed Majoris.
Currently the most massive KNOWN star in the KNOWN universe. Doesn't mean it IS the most massive star. Its just the most massive one we have yet found. I'd correct your title.
This star, however, has an extremely short lifespan (nearly 2-3 millions of years) due to its unusual mass. Then it'll become an unusual supernova, brighter than common analogues (type II) and leaving NOTHING behind, except a tremendous cloud of more than 150 masses of the Sun, which contains roughly 12 solar masses of... ionized iron!!!
@ScienceWars most people dont read the description as the point of youtube is to watch the information presented in the video. keep all your measurements consistent and you wont have comments like these

@MrTheChompiras The colour is really blue, yes. The colour of stars is broadly related to their stage in their life-cycle. (Search for "Hertzsprung-Russell diagram").
Stars that have a huge amount of mass shine very brightly in the blue and ultra-violet wavelengths - these are higher energies than the yellow of our Sun (our sun emits ultra-violet of course, that which damages our skinm but not nearly as much).
@ScienceWars It would be bluish and insanely bright. And still the vast majority of the light we couldn't even see since it would be in the ultraviolet spec. It is continuously brightest known object known by man.
@ScienceWars but not always is it actually blue there is something called the blue shift. it means when a star is traveling closer to us the wave lengths we recieve are "squished" therefor we see a blue light. (in contrast to the red shift)

@DEAGLESnipezzxxx I sure as fuck hope that English is not your first language.

@MultiSpread The arrogance, conceitedness, fear and complete lack of concern for their fellow man of people who believe in god, and how god's "mind" works can be summed up in the statements made by survivors of disasters:
"It was a miracle that I survived - god spared me."
Just put yourself in the position of a deity who had the fate of hundreds of men, women and children in his hands of that crashing plane. God throws a dice: "Hmm. I think those 4 people should survive."
@ScienceWars What is sick and arrogant is your lack of understanding which is trumpeted only by your fallacious argument.
Your argument that God does not exist due to a person's statement that he survived a plane crash (while others perished) is indeed a fallacious argument. While I have a pantheistic POV on God, I understand that noone can either prove or disprove his existence.
Thus, what you fail to grasp, is that the belief of God is as asinine as your non-belief.
@umkemesik what is even sicker and even more arrogant :P is your lack of understanding that you guys are talking about different concepts of "God". ScienceWars simply implied that Abrahamic Personal God is a ridiculous, immoral and cruel concept.
Now you come in, with your Pantheism, which has about as much basis to it as any other belief/non-belief/POV of God, and tell everyone that they all are stupid. What makes you the arbiter here? What is pantheism, but atheism "with a hat"?
@Valholm TL; DR. But srsly never claimed superiority of pantheism. In fact used my own beliefs as a point to show that all beliefs are on the same playing field. #atheismisanoxymoron.
@umkemesik I didn't state in my post about plane crashes that god exists. It isn't intended as a proof that god doesn't exist.
Your argument begins with a Straw Man, and sort of ends with a poorly-considered hotch-potch of randomly assymilated pseudointellectual arguments from - probably - various parts of the Internet.
God is amenable to scientific inquiry. And those 'miracles' that have been investigated have fallen laughably at or below the level of placebo.
@umkemesik "I understand that noone can either prove or disprove his existence."
I wasn't arguing that at all. I agree with you. But we can deal with probabilities. And the probability of a god that created then descended onto a rocky planet in an outer spiral arm in an unremarkable galaxy of a vast Universe (also of her own creation), appearing to peasants in bronze-age Palestine to let this single species know what he had done is quite close to, but not precisely, zero.
@umkemesik Re-read my post (if you can get beyond your own muddled hysteria). You will see that I am attacking the belief structure of those people who attribute their own survival in disaster situations to an omnipresent deity. I was also attacking the deity herself - a god that would choose to create an entire Universe in order to listlessly burn ants (i.e. humans) with a magnifying glass is sinister in the extreme. But fortunately, not true (probabilistically).
@ScienceWars hey ScienceWars, the most "massive known star in the universe" is VY Canis Majoris, if you're talking about mass then you used the wrong choice of words for the title.
@Valholm It would be interesting if Alien life had a belief in God. One may argue it could be an evolutionary belief. Then again, they could be like "The Thing".
Unlikely R136a1 is very old, and unlikely it will survive much longer as big stars explode quickly. The surrounding Giants are equally impressive, with several stars probably in the 150 solar mass range. Unlikely anything but simple bacteria thrive there.
@umkemesik Alien life is probably busy jerking off too much. If I was Alien life I would be jerking off all the time. Just having sex and jerking off, man, good stuff.
@dratsab1980 Red Hyper-Giants like Canis Major have larger volume (but not mass) being, at higher estimates, bigger than the orbit of Saturn. If the sun was about three feet in diameter, Canis Major would be 1.5 miles!
I was going to say, wouldn't the YV Canis Major have a larger diameter? However, you make a valid point. By sheer mass alone R136A1 does tip the scales. Which is absolutely astonishing to think that such a high mass star could exist with a significantly smaller diameter overall. Nice vid man!
VY Canis Majoris does indeed have a significantly larger diameter. It's surface, however, would be extremely diffuse, and would not look like a spherical, neatly delineated orb in the sky - it would look more like a fuzzy blob throwing off huge amounts of matter in CME events.
R136A1 (<- who comes up with these names?!) Would be more spectacular to look at, with its bright blue colour and extreme ultra-violet emissions that would fry your eyeballs in a second!
@ScienceWars THink about it like this and then you realize why they name them the way they do. In our galaxy alone there are about 100 BILLION stars. There are probably 200 billion galaxies in the known universe. Try being just one of the 8 people they have that provide names for those stars.
Yes this star is not as big in circumference as vy canis majoris but it IS THE MOST MASSIVE star we have observed. It has many many times the density of the aforementioned.
@RSHA4b4 i am sorry i said circumference i meant to say surface area my bad i used4 the equation 4*3.14*R^2=17034186000km^2 volume is 4/3*3.14*R^3= 5678062000^3km
@The1Hate "Massive but not the most massive star known, just accept it."
Oxford defines it thus:
Pronunciation:/ˈmasɪv/ adjective: 1. large and heavy or solid.
This is the colloquial definition, which you are using. The scientific definition (which is appropriate in this case because this is a scientific subject) relates 'massive' only to the quantity of mass.
I'm afraid you are just going to have to accept that.
By all means keep arguing, but you look a bit silly.
@The1Hate It IS the most massive star known. Here, lets put things into perspective for you, Imagine a balloon filled with air that is 5ft in diameter, then another balloon filled with water that's just 1ft in diameter. The water filled balloon has more mass although it appears smaller. The 5ft air filled balloon has greater volume but less mass. Mass=density/weight.
Volume=size/large or small
Mass > Volume.
VY Canis Majoris is the LARGEST star known. But R136a1 is the most MASSIVE star known.
@ScienceWars well, massive means huge, so if you were talking about mass, you could of said "R136a1-The star with the most mass". also, The1Hate is right, VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star ever.
@iceman27406 Absolutely crazy star. So much mass. It caused a revision in the understanding of stellar evolution, and how stars could possibly get that big without tearing themselves apart due to the huge gravitational forces involved.
Scientists are now on the lookout for even *bigger* stars than R136A1.
This is just 1 nearby star in our own Galaxy. Imagine what is out there in the deep Universe?!
@RSHA4b4 I meant to say the diameter is approx 2,800,000,000km and the circumference is between 4,869,464,500 miles to 5,654,862,000 miles. I got confused in commenting on another vid. Don;t jump on the band wagon and pretend you know it all.
@messi996 OMFG why does everyone think they own the video and say READ DESCRIPTION acting like they know it all. I was just saying that in physical looking size that star is tiny, keep your hair on.
@MrRudolphr, he knows that, read the description. He means the this star has much more mass and density than VY Canis Majoris, and since it has so much more mass, it could probably swallow VY up.
@zwoooooooooosh R136a1is the most MASSIVE known star (density, gravitational force), where as VY Canis Majoris is the LARGEST known star (in terms of size) there is a major difference between the two.
I am guessing that VY Canis Majoris is less dense, also I am guessing that R136a1 looks small and very dense, so R136a1 could pack in more mass and less volume and that VY Canis Majoris has small amount of mass spread throughout the volume and is less dense so R136a1 could have more mass.
@xPolarGamingx I think when he said "smaller than a pin head" he was talking about the singularity of a black hole(which some people just call the black hole), rather than talking about how far out the even horizon goes. The singularity is where all the mass is though, and that's ALWAYS smaller than a pin head(it's infinitely small). But the event horizon is the reason why it's called a black hole, so the singularity should just be called the singularity, so no one gets confused. lol
@ScienceWars I'm just answering other guys comments, not the vid. Answering yours, you can have a star like VY CM with a great volume but lower mass than R1361a. Composition makes the difference.
@Shyter12 actually, the diameter of canis majoris is about 3 billion km (3,000,000,000) which means yea, canis majoris would gobble the shit out of both earth and R136a1 :D
@ilivetocurse Dear ilivetocurse... I did. In the DESCRIPTION.
The video shows what a star of this mass would look like next to the Earth and the Sun. I take your point though - it wouldn't have hurt to put the mass in there as well. ;-)

A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

@dratsab1980 Red Hyper-Giants like Canis Major have larger volume (but not mass) being, at higher estimates, bigger than the orbit of Saturn. If the sun was about three feet in diameter, Canis Major would be 1.5 miles!

I was going to say, wouldn't the YV Canis Major have a larger diameter? However, you make a valid point. By sheer mass alone R136A1 does tip the scales. Which is absolutely astonishing to think that such a high mass star could exist with a significantly smaller diameter overall. Nice vid man!
danschaoticmind 3 months ago
@danschaoticmind Cheers, Dan!
VY Canis Majoris does indeed have a significantly larger diameter. It's surface, however, would be extremely diffuse, and would not look like a spherical, neatly delineated orb in the sky - it would look more like a fuzzy blob throwing off huge amounts of matter in CME events.
R136A1 (<- who comes up with these names?!) Would be more spectacular to look at, with its bright blue colour and extreme ultra-violet emissions that would fry your eyeballs in a second!

@ScienceWars THink about it like this and then you realize why they name them the way they do. In our galaxy alone there are about 100 BILLION stars. There are probably 200 billion galaxies in the known universe. Try being just one of the 8 people they have that provide names for those stars.

The most "massive known star in the universe" is VY Canis Majoris, if you're talking about mass then you used the wrong choice of words for the title
The1Hate 3 months ago
@The1Hate I don't think I did.
You chose the wrong selection of words in your sentence "...you used the wrong choice of words."
A more correct phrasing would be
"you chose the wrong word", as you were only contesting my usage of the word 'massive'
What word would you have used to replace 'massive' to indicate 'a large quantity of mass'?
ScienceWars 3 months ago
@ScienceWars
"I don't think i did"
i do think you did, massive is wrong, as we both know. since you're referring to mass.
I think the word "heaviest" is a better word" of choice for the title.
I accept what you said about my choice of words.
However I still reject your defence.
The1Hate 3 months ago
@The1Hate I reject your rejection of my defence.
The word 'heavy' has no meaning in astronomical terms, because things are not measured in terms of *weight*, they are measured in terms of *mass*.
For something to be *heavy*, it has to be *weighed*. For something to be *weighed*, you need a *surface* to put the thing on.
What are you going to put R136A1 on? Your kitchen worktop?
And what are you going to weigh it with? Your bathroom scales from Argos?
You are wrong. It is 'massive.

@The1Hate Because "most massive" doesn't mean largest. You are dumb, just accept it.
Promelair 3 months ago
@The1Hate "Massive but not the most massive star known, just accept it."
Oxford defines it thus:
Pronunciation:/ˈmasɪv/ adjective: 1. large and heavy or solid.
This is the colloquial definition, which you are using. The scientific definition (which is appropriate in this case because this is a scientific subject) relates 'massive' only to the quantity of mass.
I'm afraid you are just going to have to accept that.
By all means keep arguing, but you look a bit silly.
ScienceWars 3 months ago
@The1Hate It IS the most massive star known. Here, lets put things into perspective for you, Imagine a balloon filled with air that is 5ft in diameter, then another balloon filled with water that's just 1ft in diameter. The water filled balloon has more mass although it appears smaller. The 5ft air filled balloon has greater volume but less mass. Mass=density/weight.
Volume=size/large or small
Mass > Volume.
VY Canis Majoris is the LARGEST star known. But R136a1 is the most MASSIVE star known.
GMisurdaddy 3 months ago
@ScienceWars well, massive means huge, so if you were talking about mass, you could of said "R136a1-The star with the most mass". also, The1Hate is right, VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star ever.

@iceman27406 Absolutely crazy star. So much mass. It caused a revision in the understanding of stellar evolution, and how stars could possibly get that big without tearing themselves apart due to the huge gravitational forces involved.
Scientists are now on the lookout for even *bigger* stars than R136A1.
This is just 1 nearby star in our own Galaxy. Imagine what is out there in the deep Universe?!

I am guessing that VY Canis Majoris is less dense, also I am guessing that R136a1 looks small and very dense, so R136a1 could pack in more mass and less volume and that VY Canis Majoris has small amount of mass spread throughout the volume and is less dense so R136a1 could have more mass.

xPolarGamingx 3 months ago
@xPolarGamingx I think when he said "smaller than a pin head" he was talking about the singularity of a black hole(which some people just call the black hole), rather than talking about how far out the even horizon goes. The singularity is where all the mass is though, and that's ALWAYS smaller than a pin head(it's infinitely small). But the event horizon is the reason why it's called a black hole, so the singularity should just be called the singularity, so no one gets confused. lol

NearTheLimits 4 months ago
@NearTheLimits There IS a relation between mass and volume (which also varies according to composition).
This video shows how big a star of R136a1's *mass* would look like if situated next to Earth and the Sun.
A video to show mass is not possible, without just posting the numbers. Pretty boring for the general public. Hence the graphical size comparison.
ScienceWars 4 months ago
@ScienceWars I'm just answering other guys comments, not the vid. Answering yours, you can have a star like VY CM with a great volume but lower mass than R1361a. Composition makes the difference.
