Oh man. This one gets me every time. All throughout school, we learn how Earth isn't the biggest planet in the Solar System. We were taught that Jupiter and Saturn are atleast 10 times the size of Earth. Then we learned that Jupiter is dwarfed by the Sun, easily 100 times the size of Earth. Well now, within this video, is more learning. It's time to learn that our very own Sun, is NOTHING compared to some of the larger objects within out Solar System. Take a look.
Well? Shocked? Scared even? VY Canis Majoris is a monster. And it dosn't even take that much size to make the Sun look small. Rigel and Betelgeuse, and even Antares make the Sun seem like a tiny speck in space. Because it is!! Even after the stars, you were shown how huge the Universe is, filled with the countless Galaxys in which even behemoths like VY Canis Majoris are no more than meer pinpricks of light, indistinguishable from the rest of the Milky Way's glowing mass.
