The sun is very small, evidence

see this might be the very problem, does it? its a paradox realy, no....... perhaps u only can find the answer if u already went crazy (aphorism)

Absolutely unbelievable....I thought Betelguese was a big star, but even it was dwarfed by those others. I can just imagine the size of the black holes when those super massive stars finally collapse

Finally someone made a thread about different sizes of stars. It's really quite beautiful. Our sun is super tiny, so I imagine that some of these giant suns could have super giant planets and whole other forms of life in which we are just not meant to comprehend.

The cosmos is full of surprises, things you never even dreamed of. Burning gas giants is the norm like a second sun, small planets with a super dense core causing an uncontrollable magnetic field to pull anything metallic in. Planets where helium has gotten a runaway for an atmosphere, so plant life reaches an all new high.
White holes, spewing super heated molten matter, in highly focused energy waves. Space-time bending and twisting to the point your not going the direction you thought you were. Sunless worlds floating in the dark, with an overheating core supporting an atmosphere so life forms on this dark world, a nebulas could be nearby and local inhabitants could mistake it for their deity.

Travel not by light speed but on dark matter rifts, three times faster than light. All forms of DNA could found and integrated into a "DNA map" charting all lifeforms ever discovered and their ancestry.
Eventually we will come across being far superior than us, their logic, beyond our understand, a gap, a hole to where their brain should be but somehow, that increases their knowledge. Our tiny world has no meaning to them. Only when we leave will we be seen as an infection.

Time will tell this amazing story, and I hope to be a part of it again. The multiverse/universe is truly amazing.

Ur anus is so big that it could fit couple of Earths

Sorry, I could not help myself

Wow

My brain has just farted.

That is pretty humbling, thanks for the post!

Great gif, my brain as had a good workout today, time to go to bed before I go crazy lol.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Submit to Jesus, have faith, repent of your sins, and you shall have ever lasting life!

Huh... so why should I ? Because God created the heavens and Earth ?

Or because Jesus did ?

Or because I can live my live doing only bad things and still get a home free ticket... ?
Go away with your religious speculations. There is a forum to post about religion.

Not even beginning about the most useless post I've read in a while... There is not even an argument included... :O Come on, you can do better.

But... take it to the religious forum where it belongs.

WoW!! This is amazing!!

We are like bacteria!! lol

Maybe people should do a little investigation and see who has done the plagiarism. What I wrote in my first post is my own words describing the Universe, I did not copy it from that Blog. I will put my membership at line to defend my integrity.

Please investigate.. Once again, I'll put my membership in line to defend my integrity. Everything I wrote is my own work.

Nice post.
the type of light the sun gives out.
is what made earth what it is to day.
the plants and animals could not live with out the light.
microbes and bacterial can live with no light.
so life on all the different types of stars will be all different!

Starred and Flagged !!!

Very very cool ! We are but a grain of sand...

I remember coming across a yt video that had the same effect on me :

Watch full size in HD...





Brain teasers !!!

I can't even begin to comprehend the size of Canis Majoris. The fact that there can be stars THAT massive is mindblowing. Imagine the view from a planet in that system...imagine when that thing goes supernova.

I think not.

While indeed there may be and probably are larger stars than VY Canis Majoris, it doesn't seem likely that VY Canis Majoris will be like a tiny ant compared to them based on observations:

Study: Stars Have a Size Limit

.........................
Still, there may be stars that circumvent the 150 solar mass limit. For example, the mass-spewing Pistol star may weigh as much as 200 solar masses. One way to explain this apparent paradox, Figer said, is that the Pistol star could be a "born-again" star, formed from the merger of two smaller stars. This sort of formation mechanism would be very unusual, however.

"There is no star in the galaxy that credibly breaks the 150 solar mass limit," Figer said.

Another possibility that they didn't mention is, the possibility that if too much mass accumulates in one place, it could collapse into a black hole. But they really don't know why there appears to be an upper limit on stars, just that they have observed a lack of larger stars that they expected to find, but didn't find.

edit on 4-7-2011 by Arbitrageur because: clarification

Welp, looks like we found a new monster:
Universe's biggest known star discovered by British astronomers

Among the largest known stars previously known were the Pistol Star, between 80 and 150 solar masses, and Eta Carinae, around 100 solar masses. The Pistol Star radiates as much energy in 20 seconds as our Sun does in a year. However, both are utterly dwarfed by the vast new discovery.

According to Astronomy Now, R136a1 gives off more energy than all the stars in the Orion Nebula, and if it were in our solar system would be as much brighter than the Sun as the Sun is than the Moon.

There are four stars in the cluster RCM 136a, where R136a1 sits, with a mass over 150 that of the Sun. Those four stars alone give off half the energy of the entire cluster, which contains 100,000 stars in total.

Live long and prosper.

dear thread starter, u can look up the so called "wolf rayet stars" if u r into astronomy. they r the most massive stars in the universe, the very stars at the edge of the eddington limit.

it is not easy to discover them, though. because they r enveloped behind a nebulae produced by their own unstable solar bursts.

pretty interesting geek stuff :p
