It is really
Remember that they are only a few ones that we have discovered so far and there are so many millions and millions of undiscovered stars which some of them may be MUCH BIGGER than VY Canis Majoris!
I just imagined if we live in Antares, we must travel through ufos. No way to travel through planes or rockets. Maybe If we able to create ufos, it would still take 10,000 years to get there.
Damn, those pics would have been perfect for my Sun and Stars Lesson Unit I just finished teaching to my 4th graders. Perfect way to understand the concept of how big stars are. My students still do not really understand that the stars are big..they still havent achieved abstract thinking yet so it was hard to get them to understand that stars are big but look small because they are far. I even showed pics but nothing as good as these here!
I'm glad that I helped you to get students to understand better.
There are also even dwarf stars that are similar to the size of this planet Earth, too.
I was saying that I wish I had that when I taught the unit. I finsihed with the unit in December. Too late now. Maybe next year, if I am still teaching 4th grade.
We are just a molecule/atom compared to those stars.
There is a HD format for crisp n clear viewing experience.

maybe that's why there are so few aliens in spaceships. They probably began with 100+ aliens and then the journey was so long and risky that in the end... only 1-3 survived.... and we killed them. dissected them.
