Please read this first. Check out these incredible high resolution images I found on the internet showing the relative sizes of stars and planets. Planets included Pluto, Eris, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. Stars included, Sol/Sun, Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus, Rigel, Aldebaran, Beetlegeuse, Antares, Pistol Star, KW Sagitarii, V354 Cephei, VV Cephei, and VY Canis Majoris. The images origionally only went up to VV Cephei and included the Moon but the Moon was to small and I wasn't too sure about it's true size so I rubbed it out along with Ceres and the Deathstar and I also added VY Canis Majoris so it was entirely up to date. The music is a soundtrack from the game SimCity 4. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_stars for a list of some of the largest known stars.

Sep 27, 2008 - Do humanity a courtousy and stop spreading that crap around...Religion has fooled enough people, Stop trying to fool others.

Sep 28, 2008 - If I thought I was doing such damage, them I would not risk it. I am obviously completly sure because I convince dozens of people all the time and each of them on average in term convinces dozens of people all the time and so on for at least several levels, so you better hope I am not lying. It is you who needs to stop spreading your insults, you provide no hope and I actually provided scientific facts with it you didn't do any good to this page.
AbyssalTitan Says:
Sep 28, 2008 - Religion is not a scientific fact. If there is a fact at all for it..Its that it has caused more damage to the world then done good. And theres plenty of proof u can get from research.
RJL738 Says:
Sep 29, 2008 - I have done research, I am much more experienced at this than you. I have heard of this dozens of times over. If this is all you have then don't bother any more. To be honest with you, I do not care that much to argue this right now.
AbyssalTitan Says:
Sep 29, 2008 - No what you did was take a scientific discovery and made that proclamation "Oh look at the creation of GOD", when it really isnt...If you want to preach about your "god" Dont do it on a science video.
RJL738 Says:
Sep 30, 2008 - No I didn't and I will do what I want if it is good for the human race. I don't get my rights from you or the human race. I'm not going to let this grag on. It's not worth arguing about now.
AbyssalTitan Says:
Sep 30, 2008 - Then could you explain to me how the most murderous excuse for power if beneficial to humanity? Im not understanding that part.

Oct 2, 2008 - Wonder what earth would be like if it were the size of VY Canis Majoris. How many countries would there be? Population? Wonder how long it takes for one plane journey between opposite ends...
skirgedot Says:
Oct 4, 2008 - If a person could walk in VY Canis Majoris for 8 hours a day, at the speed of 3 miles a hour, it would take something like 162.000 years to pass the entire diameter. Just for comparison, doing such thing on Earth would take only 3 years. Yeah, the freaking star is huge as shit !
LJam Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - never mix science with religion...fact from belief...never..
GunzFTW99 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - Population would still be the same, humans still have some space on earth, VY Canis Majoris is about 5000 light years, so you'd have to travel at the speed of 180,000 miles per second for 5000 years.
obbytoo Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - If Earth were the size of VYCM the population of humans would be about [population of human being / surface area of Earth] multiplied by [surface area of VYCM]. Assuming human species have fully evolved and explored all of the planet.
GunzFTW99 Says:
Nov 6, 2008 - No it wouldn't, it wouldn't speed up our creation, our creation is at full speed, it would still be the same, provided we could live on that star.

Nov 17, 2008 - increible la tierra deberiacer al lado de vy canis mayoris un grano de arroz al lado de una casa de 4pisos
BoredToDeath92 Says:
Nov 25, 2008 - it takes 8 hours for the light to travel the diameter of canis majoris. An airplane traveling with 600 kilometres per hour will need about 75000 days i think
obbytoo Says:
Nov 25, 2008 - Well according to your calculation it would take just over 208 years (non-stop flying) to cover half the planet. Scary.
cantiloginnow Says:
Nov 30, 2008 - What the? i thought I've seen more stars than that!
HeavyMetalFan222 Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - don't even talk, just no...

Dec 4, 2008 - The fact is that there are trillion of planet in milky way alone.
TyteTyson Says:
Dec 24, 2008 - There are no such tings as aliesn MORONS! AND GOD CAN DESROY CANIS MAJORIS IF HE WaNTED WITH A LIF OF HIS FINGER
CharlieTeague Says:
Dec 24, 2008 - I guess we all have our own opinions which are best kept to ourselves!

Jan 7, 2009 - Dude... don't tell us that aliens aren't real when you believe in god.. come on at least aliens have a chance of being real. BTW I don't believe in either
