WTF lol didn't know the sun was that small compared to other stars and planets. Kind of scary now thinking about it.
 
why did we end up with such a crappy name for a galaxy.

i hope that when other life forms from other galaxies never ask us where were from..

"what galaxy is earth in then"

"ahhh ummmm.... the milky way" :angry:

It's because of the creamy white band of stars that can be seen at night, provided you are somewhere with clean air and no light pollution.
 
I didnt know there was so many planets. so when is it going to stop growing..............
 
amazing!

University of Minnesota professor Roberta M. Humphreys estimates the radius of VY CMa at 1,800 to 2,100 solar radii. To illustrate, if our Sun were replaced by VY Canis Majoris, its surface might extend to the orbit of Saturn. Assuming the upper size limit of 2100 solar radii, light would take more than 8 hours to travel around the star's circumference, as opposed to 14.5 seconds for the sun. It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 Quadrillion) earths to fill VY Canis Majoris. The diameter of VY Canis majoris is Est. 3,063,500,000 km.
