I apologise for the inaccuracy of the figures listed in this video. I was young when I made it and poorly researched.

Although the figures may be incorrect, what you should take away from this video is its intended message; just how inconceivably enormous celestial objects in the universe are, and how small Earth is compared. When I think about how tiny we really are in the great scheme of things, I feel humbled by the vastness and in turn become more of a humble person.

Thanks for watching and once again, sorry for the inaccuracies. For more precise figures, visit Wikipedia and search for 'list of largest stars'.

  • THERE IS A HUGE FLAW WITH PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT ALIENS MIGHT HAVE THEIR OWN GODS AS GOD IS NO ONE TO BE OWNED BY ANYONE! IF GOD IS REAL AND TRUE HE HAS CREATED THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND ALL ALIENS ALSO

  • @Nugwrangler It was actually the big slam. Shaq is God and long ago he slam dunked a ball so hard it spawned the universe. If you don't accept Shaq into your heart and ask him to forgive you of your fouls you will be punished by Kobe for all of eternity.

  • @FireSign27 There is most likely life else where in the universe and they made up their own gods just as we did on earth.

  • @buchananstreet I thought the exact opposite. I don't see how someone can watch this and believe a God, or at least a personal God. The universe is so huge and the earth is just a speck. Due to the vastness of the universe odds are there are other specks with life on them. And just as people in different parts of the world have their own gods people in other planets will have made up their own as well.

  • @ProjectIdiot We don't even know if Mars contains live, we know nothing about live on other planets, not even the moon. We are nothing.

  • @ThisOneObserver Yea I did after I posted that, my bad.

  • @ScottyBoiy Read the description.

  • What about VY Canis Majoris?

  • @ProjectIdiot I would say rather that life is not as rare as we think it is. We are not as special as we think we are. We orbit an ordinary star in an ordinary galaxy.

  • @ProjectIdiot "OUR PLANET CONTAINS LIFE - RATHER THAN ANOTHER THING IN OUR GALAXY THAT WE'VE SEEN!"

    Exactly the point of being insignificant. We haven't seen much at all to even possible figure out if there's other Intelligent life yet. Let alone who's to say what's "intelligent" life to us is considered "intelligent" life to anything else? The universe is so immense that we literally mean nothing to existence. And it doesn't look like humans are even advancing fast enough to save ourselves.
