[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.

I suddenly feel very worthless and insignificant.
[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.
