From our planet to the largest known star. Just thought it would be better than the others out there that are just still images, or squirrel nuts.

Oh and Just FYI since everyone seems to ask without checking the previous comments.

  • VY CANIS Is so fuckin big you cant even imagine and it go way futher than saturn my friend

  • @Level80irl yes, It is fucking big, but no it wouldn't. You measure how far out it would be by the radius, not the diameter.

  • So, where does the VY Canis Majoris reach when it would be placed in the center of our solar system?

  • @blacknessboy666 A bit past saturn.

    Radius of VY is roughly 1.5 billion km. Saturn orbits at about 1.4

  • @Darkcastleknights If we were to walk it, given the average speed a human walks (appx 5km/h) and were capable of walking the entire distance without any rest, it would still take about 220,000 years to travel the entire circumference. So half that from one side to the other.

  • obs: Betelgeuse is bigger than V283 Carinae '-'

    =D

  • That last star is quite big, however it's not as big as my friend's gut. He's been eating donuts for the past few decades, and was becoming so big that NASA, secretly of course, sent him into space. He has long since left our solar system, and from what I understand he's still eating donuts, washing them down with tea (Bertrand Russell flavor).If you're wondering how he could survive in space unaided,and how he left our solar system,it's the power of donuts of course (just ask Homer Simpson).

  • bleeeeuuuurgh, too much perspective.

  • omg... I feel so small now D:

  • wt

  • @adilsa40 Thank you.

  • @blacknessboy666 up to saturn

  • thats one big ass mother fucker

  • Why so Sirius?

  • The amount of sheer energy and power that thing puts out when it explodes must be astronomically unfathomable.
