[QUOTE=Kendra;23519822]It's nowhere near the largest. It's the most massive, not the biggest, there's a difference. VY Canis Majoris is the largest, 2100 times bigger than the Sun.

[QUOTE=Deweze;23613677]So guys I never understood exactly what the million times brighter than the sun thing would do to a human being? Can anyone explain? I always thought that meant the star could blind you no matter what you do[/QUOTE] The light it gives off is so strong it would vaporise you. You would be broken down like dust on the wind. This star's light is a nightmare for all known life. [editline]03:12PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Fycix;23622832]I think tiny stars are just as cool. It's like... damn I could have a summer home on it it's so small.[/QUOTE] Welcome to planets, we have already built you a summer home may I take your coat?
