I've already known that there are millions of other stars larger than the Sun, supergiants and hypergiants and stuff. Too bad those stars ain't gonna last long enough to reach them...(especially eta carinae).
Isn't there one called Castor, twinned with Pollux or something?
There is in the Gemini, but they are not really pairs. They are called visual binaries because they look like pairs in our sight. They are quite far apart, hundreds of light years... and Castor's actually famous for it's sextuple or six star system!
The size of the last planet is phenomenal. :o[/quote]
The star's size is phenomenal, not the planets. The planets are just size of an atom to the largest star...
I wonder if ANYTHING is bigger than Canis Majoris! XD
Unless the supermassive black hole in the middle of the Milky Way counts!
Lots, the nebulas, galaxies and dust clouds.
Lol, a black hole is not judged by it's size, but its G strength. Even small ones can destroy Canis Majoris in some time. The black hole in the center of our galaxy is a "medium" supermassive one. It it were, it would release very intense radiation like M87.
Miley Cyrus's Sexyness > That beacon :3
Erm...
I've never heard of those stars, and now I know, that I have been scarred for life because that is Bucking Fig.
Then again, we haven't seen Andromeda yet. For all we know there could be God's Star in there.
Way to copy/paste from Wikipedia.
Why would you always talk about Hannah Montana series eh?
Andromeda is a galaxy, and our nearest largest one.
Not a big surprise really. I already knew that our Sun was extremely small compared to other stars. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if, in twenty years that last star would be considered very small.
I just want to see a trinary star now. :P
Would you like me to mention Castor is a six star system? Amazing eh?:classic:
I'd love to see the last one go supernova. Now that would be a light show.
If you are immortal, you'll able to see Eta Carina explode. Unless there's a random one showing off which are a one in a million chance. The last supernova exploded here in our galaxy is in the Tauros, the Crab nebula.
After studying Astronomy for how long, it makes me realize that we are just specks in the vastness of the universe!
