The most gigantic stars [HD]

The video's one of these scale comparsions. The very idea is most certainly not mine. That's why I credited user Morn1415 whose video inspired me the most. Of course the animation's in the way limited because I didn't use any 3D program like Morn1415 did. Everything done here is pure AfterEffects. Also I added little thumbnails of constalations and pointed where each (apart from one) star is located. What I am proud of is that I made Saturn and Uranus with rings and I neither used any tutorial to make rings nor I have ever seen technique to make them so I am proud that I figured out it myself.
So I hope you enjoy the video and once again I'm saying I've seen several videos of the kind so I'm well aware that there are tons of them on YouTube BUT I wanted to make my version.

I have to announce that I have been working on an upgraded version taking some of the comments into account and hopefully have it rendered soon :-)

[uhlord]

I should have never replied to Mocha2007andcoco because of that youtube function that put comments the author reacts to in front of all others and now everybody replies to him and it starts unnecessary flamewars...

at 2:05, that pistol star, it says that it is not visible in the light spectrum. so does that mean that it is invisible to the human eye? thats kinda creepy, so then how do scientist know that it is there?

[uhlord]

@SuperLaw911 correct me please if I'm wrong but I read something like the Pistol Star is from our point of view behind a interstellar dust that is gradually absorbing the visible light emmited by the star and thus making it invisible to human eye but remember human eye's can see only very narrow area in spectrum of light, The pistol star has been detected in infrared spectrum of light by Hubble Space Telescope in in the early 1990s (at least Wikipedia says so)

@chrstman No, it only says it in the credits.

Lol, yes it is.

Good song w ith it

@AAVAN Well Saturn is 1.5 billion km from the Sun, that's way, WAY out there you know. :)

[AAVAN]

@Macbrother Thanks for the info... I thought the star could be bigger than the orbit of Neptune..

[Macbrother]

@AAVAN The actual size of VY Canis Majoris is debated actually, but at the present accepted size, if placed in the center of the solar system, it would stretch out to Saturn's Orbit

Is this part of the score to the movie Sunshine?

[ghostliner45]

The video is awesome. The way the planets and stars come with the music is just right.. The music makes me sad though :(

[matijasajko1]

this is a fantastic video, the song is fantastic too :)

you made me cry

Nice version, One of the best!!

[GShock112]

@uhlord excellent music choice by the way.

I have seen that movie ten times: Sunshine.

Please, keep building the constellations so it's easy for everyone to find them in the sky with their telescopes. That was a brilliant idea you had! :)
