The star VY Canis Majoris is the largest star known to man, with a diameter of 3 billion kilometers and a volume close to 10 billion times that of the Sun and 1.6 trillion times that of Earth.
Earth vs Jupiter The Sun radius is about equal to ten Jupiters
VY Canis Majoris is a red supergiant in the constellation Ofis Major, extremely harsh, with massive jets all over its surface, and although it is an oxygen-rich star, no planetary system has been found around it. If you sit on a 900 km/h passenger plane and circle The VY Canis Major, you need to fly 900 years, 4500 to 4900 light-years away from Earth. It is speculated that the diameter is about 1420 times the radius of the sun, which can easily fit into about 3 billion suns.
Human civilization is placed on the cosmic scale, so small that it is negligible
If VY Canis Majorus were placed in the position of the Sun, its edges would exceed jupiter's orbit. It will swallow Mercury and Venus, evaporate the Earth, and then swallow the entire asteroid belt, swallow Jupiter, and then push Saturn step by step, and finally evaporate saturn's rings, and finally stay in front of Saturn.
It's so small that it's like an adult eating a pea, and a pea represents a star
VY Canis Majoris is so large, but the star has only formed for about 10,000 years, compared to the time when the Sun has been 4.6 billion years old, all stars follow the cosmic rules of the larger the mass and the shorter the lifespan, scientists believe that once VY Canis Major has a supernova explosion, the naked eye on Earth can also see this stellar event that lasts for several years.
Exploding planets will give birth to new planets from the dust of explosives
Life is destroyed and born in an explosion.
