The Universe in 3D: Planet & Star Size Comparison - Version 3 [1080p]

Comparison of planet and star sizes.

Newest Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gx8lOqVcwQ
 **MORE INFO BELOW**

All planets and stars are scaled correctly.

Contains all of the planets in our solar system (and Pluto), our sun, Vega (a star), and VV Cephi A (an enormous star, estimated to be the 3rd largest).

Order of Planets and Stars:

Pluto, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, The Sun, Vega, VV Cephi A

Also, at the end of the video, Vega is actually visible as a very small blue dot in the center of the screen.

*Note: Planet rings are not to scale, they are simply aesthetic.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the 115,000 views, nice comments, and your appreciation. But this is no longer the best version of this video. I have made a new version with full texture maps, bump maps, specularity maps, lighting updates, and many other changes. The new video can be viewed here watch?v=8gx8lOqVcwQ And as always, thanks for watching!

Ok.. well I just checked another site and it says its between 1000 and 2200 times that of our sun.. so maybe it is accurate after all.

[lenny27G]

@KinqK00pa Current measurements on VV Cephei A are in the range of 1600-1900 Solar Radii. I used 1750 as a middle value. Don't worry, it is as accurate as possible =)

[codlegofailvideos]

wheres canis majoris?

[lenny27G]

@codlegofailvideos Its in the comments... several hundred times... about how its not there.

[syahrulrs]

the word is wrong of VV Chepi A.The right word is VV Chepei A

[lenny27G]

@syahrulrs Wow, you are the first person to notice that. I'll update that on the new version I'm making. Thanks ;)

[EmpiricalMonkey]

Well done! Best one of these I've seen, completely blew my mind!

[qhrconstruction]

HAND DOWN! The best comparison video I've seen!

Thanks for the taking the time to make it.

[KinqK00pa]

Am I the only one who noticed that the VV Cephi A was quite dramatized on this video. It's not nearly as big as this person made it seem. Look it up on Wikipedia. It says its around 500-600 times the radius of our sun. Now replay the video and you will see that its portrayed way too big.

@domino817

Light travels in one year roughly 5.87 trillion miles.

VV Cephei A is 2,400 light years away from Earth.

So 5.87 trillion x 2400 = X miles

At the end, "ULTRAAAAA COMBOOOOOO!"

[TheHeavensSpear]

wow.

[jhsgalaxy]

@syahrulrs You are also wrong because it ios not Chepei ist is Cepei !! (without h)

[domino817]

how far is VV Cephia A from Earth? I know the sun is 93,000,000 miles away.

i may sound like a wimp but the last star im afraid 2 see
