There are several videos circulating showing a comparison of the largest stars. I like these kind of things, and I wanted to try one myself. Probably because I also watched "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan as a kid. Actually my first Youtube upload. Hope you like it...

  • The content owner has not made this video available on mobile.

    What kind of dipshit would do this?

  • @Axeonfluke Just to clarify: I made the whole video and animation, but I took audio tracks I like with it. (As mentioned at the end) Never thought people would like it that much. Of course I checked available on mobile. But it won´t work. Sorry folks.

    At least it is available online again. It has been blocked in some countries for some time.

  • I don't know who ever cam up with the "1100 years" but it's wrong. A plane flying 900 km/h will fly 900 x 24 (hours) x 365 (days) = 7.884.000 km each year. Dividing the largest star's diameter with the plane's reach per year: 2.800.000.000 / 78.840.000 = 35.5. The journey will therefore "only" take 35.5 years

  • @kamtpr You added a zero at the last divisor. So the result should be 355 (rounded).

    And I said it so many times before: Please fly around the star, not TROUGH it. (Contents may be hot) You took the diameter, not circumference. Just multiply your result with Pi. So 1100 is roughly correct.

  • @morn1415 I feel stupid now

  • @kamtpr Don´t. :) You went ino the effort of checking. Curiosity is good. It just takes some time to doublecheck everything and think about it. I also do that before I post a comment. That halps to minimife the errohrs.

    I googled 'how big are stars' just out of curiosity and this came up .^_^.

  • its good thing are sun is small, bigger stars dont last as long

  • There are trillions of living galaxies over there.

  • but will VY Canis Majoris blend?

  • By far the best space video on youtube.

  • "oh my god that one was big in comparison to that, and that was big in comparison to that, holy shit that was big, and that was even bigger!"

  • oooh
