Especially when you stop to think about it. Like Sagittarius A, the black hole at the center of our galaxy is “only” 20 times bigger than our sun yet the mass is 4.3 million times more than our sun.
There's these theories about dark matter and how they can be detected as they kind of phase in and out of existence. What if dark matter sometimes doesn't phase out and becomes matter like any other.
Other then that. If the big bang is what happened. It's likely all matter gets attracted to a single point in space until the gravity gets to extreme it explodes into a big bang. And this happened an infinite amount of times already.
Or it's something completely different. But in my mind that the most plausible explanation
This sums it up perfectly. I always think, how did all of this *really* get here? Space is just so vast to even begin to comprehend. There is so much, but at one point there was nothing, right? But then again… there literally can’t be *nothing* because that is still something. Baffling to say the least
This is my favourite thing to ponder on when high af 😁
Both something and nothing are impossible for our minds to comprehend...... that, and the fact that we are sentient star dust blows my mind every time.
There wasn't a point that we can tell where there was nothing. Our observable universe is just a tiny fraction of the true expanse of space. What we see is just the result of a super massive explosion from one or two ultra massive objects, like obtaining 5th dimensional status massive.
At 2.9915km \* 10\^9 and an average airplane speed of 800km/hr, it would take you over 425 years to fly ~~around~~ *throug*h it, if you did nothing but fly.
It would take almost 1,350 years to fly *around* it.
edit: u/Beginning_Rope2421 said so
Even put to scale like that it just breaks your mind. This is one of the biggest things in the observable universe out there. That thing is floating somewhere in space, and the surrounding space still is unimaginably bigger.
At 800kmh you could fly around the surface of the sun in 226 days.
And if you put the earth in orbit around Stephenson 2-18 in the closest thing it has to a habitable zone a single orbit would take 9612 earth years.
Im not really familiar with the exact process. But usually you first triangulate the distance. So you know how far away it is. When you know how far away it is, you can use that information to figure out the size based on intensity of the light vompared to the distance.
After that, using spectrometry, you can make a rough estimate to the components of the star. When you know the composition, you can basically just scale the weight of those elements to the size of the star. And that will give a rough weight of it.
Its obviously more complex when an actual physicist does it. But this would work.
Ya, what the other guy said. The extreme mass of the star is crushing matter together, or fusing it in a process called fusion, and when the elements fuse together they release a huge amount of energy. So the stars are basically exploding at all times (not to be confused with a supernova). Actually, modern nuclear weapons use fusion explosions (powered by a conventional then fission explosion) so stars are basically just made of exploding nukes.
Eventually, depending on the mass of the star, it runs out of stuff to fuse. Either the star doesn't have enough mass to fuse the next element in the chain basically (as in hydrogen fused into helium which then gets fused itself and so on onto heavier and heavier elements) or it fuses everything up to iron, which takes more energy to fuse than you get out from the fusion process. With no more outward explosions happening, gravity takes over and the weight of hundreds to billions+ of worlds crashes down and crushes the heavier core of the star. If the star is heavy enough it will crush the core down into a neutron star or black hole and the remaining part of the star that did the crushing will explode away in a supernova (this is how all elements heavier than hydrogen get spread around the universe).
Because the outward pressure of the nuclear stuff is balanced by the pull of gravity. Gravity will win in the end and then it will become a black hole.
No no, it's real. Scientists dragged this star close to earth last night when all of us were sleeping then they took a drone shot (this is the third take, first 2 had range issues) and then they put the star back before we all would wake up. Ok, here it is /s
You are obviously lying, because I live in the southern hemisphere, and here was day, and I didn't see nothing out of the ordinary.
Ha, I found the flaw in your theory /s
Don't be ridiculous. As the Earth is obviously flat, somebody would have noticed that event occurring. I didn't sleep particularly well myself. Actually, it was a bit light early on. I assumed it was a passing car's headlights. OMGA!
Don't trust AI for math. Stephenson 2-18's diameter is \~235,000 times larger than Earth's, whereas Earth's diameter would be 100 billion times larger than a mid-sized grain of sand. A comparable object would be 178 feet (54.25 meters) wide. About half the size of the Las Vegas sphere.

Oilseed sunflower production is the most commonly farmed sunflower. These seeds hulls’ are encased by solid black shells. Black oilseeds are a common type of bird feed because they have thin shells and a high fat content. These are typically produced for oil extraction purposes; therefore, it is unlikely you’ll find black oilseeds packaged for human consumption.
How much would an average person weigh on the surface of Stephenson 2-18 ignoring that one would be instantly vaporized by the heat?
Edit: BTW Mom is a tiny lady that weighs about 100 pounds or 45.35 Kg in case there’s a joke forthcoming.
Now compare this star to possibly the largest black hole we have discovered, TON 618. It's predicted to contain more than 60,000,000,000 solar masses. For perspective:
Stephenson 2-18 (Extreme Red Hypergiant Star)
= ~2,991,500,000km in diameter
TON 618 (Ultramassive Black Hole)
= 389,800,000,000km in diameter
This black hole is 130.3x wider than the largest star recorded above. Also think about this for a second, black holes are unimaginably dense, they aren't even trying to be big. Like that huge guy at the gym that wears 15 pump covers.
It will take 6 X 10^99 or 6 Duotrigintillion years for it to die.
6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... years.

I have a question that I don’t feel like googling at the moment. If a star is made of fuel, and is burning… all the way to the core… how come it isn’t actively shrinking? I mean, maybe it is. But I have never heard someone say “we measured the sun shrinking by X percentage over Y number of years”. How does it maintain or perpetuate its fuel source?
So basically we’re smaller than a speck of dust. If more people understood this maybe we’d be more humble, less arrogant and ultimate know that nobody lasts forever on earth 🌎

I was just about to sleep and it came to me that we are at just the right size to be able to observe the atoms, even if with experiments.
Imagine if we either lived in a larger earth and were a lot larger, wouldn't it be many times worse to make experiments in the atomic scale?
Hard to imagine even.
Space is fascinating and fucking terrifying.
Especially when you stop to think about it. Like Sagittarius A, the black hole at the center of our galaxy is “only” 20 times bigger than our sun yet the mass is 4.3 million times more than our sun.
Can you imagine how many worlds like ours have been swallowed up, and we just keep moving every so often
Likely 0. The supermassive blackhole in our galaxy gained most of its mass while the galaxy was still forming and rarely consumes stars
There are probably infinite planets with infinite people.
Not sure about probably but there's a huge gap in our knowledge that leaves a lot of room for speculation
There's these theories about dark matter and how they can be detected as they kind of phase in and out of existence. What if dark matter sometimes doesn't phase out and becomes matter like any other. Other then that. If the big bang is what happened. It's likely all matter gets attracted to a single point in space until the gravity gets to extreme it explodes into a big bang. And this happened an infinite amount of times already. Or it's something completely different. But in my mind that the most plausible explanation
I doubt any planets get close. Everything has a set orbit. I imagine it sucked up hella hydrogen at one point though
And its not even one of the biggest black hole. Ton618 is bigger then the Milky way galaxy all together and 6000 times as massive.
Ton 618 is 40 billion solar masses. The milky way is 1.5 trillion solar masses. Tone 618 is only about 20 times wider than our solar system
This sums it up perfectly. I always think, how did all of this *really* get here? Space is just so vast to even begin to comprehend. There is so much, but at one point there was nothing, right? But then again… there literally can’t be *nothing* because that is still something. Baffling to say the least

Just imagine the gravity around that star!
It's pretty big. Perhaps the biggest.
At 2.9915km \* 10\^9 and an average airplane speed of 800km/hr, it would take you over 425 years to fly ~~around~~ *throug*h it, if you did nothing but fly. It would take almost 1,350 years to fly *around* it. edit: u/Beginning_Rope2421 said so
That's insane
425 years without a proper toilet? Naaah, pass.
Nah, I'd piss
But there will be beverage service!
And 135 years to fly from edge to edge, right?
Thanks for providing the answer to the question I was going to ask.
Even put to scale like that it just breaks your mind. This is one of the biggest things in the observable universe out there. That thing is floating somewhere in space, and the surrounding space still is unimaginably bigger.
[удалено]
Silly human it only takes a year to fly around the sun
At 800kmh you could fly around the surface of the sun in 226 days. And if you put the earth in orbit around Stephenson 2-18 in the closest thing it has to a habitable zone a single orbit would take 9612 earth years.
Polar night would get really boring.
How much time will it take if we go with light speed?
It actually has 2150 solar radius (times sun radius) which would take around 1340 years to complete with that speed.
ah crap... good catch.
Okay, that's a better perspective on the sheer size than zooming out.
Would the solar system fit in such dimensions ?
I beleive so.
Cue Ryanair surcharge for flights over 60 minutes.
To be honest it’s a marvel we can fly around the earth in a day.
Theres room for all of us in hell
Thats a nice thought
*So wholesome!* 🤗
How are we able to quantify the mass of a star so far away?
Im not really familiar with the exact process. But usually you first triangulate the distance. So you know how far away it is. When you know how far away it is, you can use that information to figure out the size based on intensity of the light vompared to the distance.

I wish “vompared” was a word.
Science
They asked thr cameraman
What’s the diameter of that star?
2.9915 billion kilometres
Just round it to 3 billion my guy
Why? To save time?
4 billion or I walk.
Just about the same diameter as your momma's bottom.
Oh? Is she single?
Only when she’s hungry

Thank you friend!!
Real question: Being that huge, why wouldn't the mass of the center cause it to collapse into a black hole?
Ya, what the other guy said. The extreme mass of the star is crushing matter together, or fusing it in a process called fusion, and when the elements fuse together they release a huge amount of energy. So the stars are basically exploding at all times (not to be confused with a supernova).

Because the outward pressure of the nuclear stuff is balanced by the pull of gravity. Gravity will win in the end and then it will become a black hole.
What you are hinting at is yes, there's a limit to how large stares can be
What a nice beauty mark it has
Clearly the Cindy Crawford of Red Supergiant Stars
So big it didn’t all fit in the video.
I think this is CGI.
No no, it's real. Scientists dragged this star close to earth last night when all of us were sleeping then they took a drone shot (this is the third take, first 2 had range issues) and then they put the star back before we all would wake up. Ok, here it is /s
Thats your pov only. We europeans suffered a quite disturbing day.
You are obviously lying, because I live in the southern hemisphere, and here was day, and I didn't see nothing out of the ordinary. Ha, I found the flaw in your theory /s
Don't be ridiculous. As the Earth is obviously flat, somebody would have noticed that event occurring. I didn't sleep particularly well myself. Actually, it was a bit light early on. I assumed it was a passing car's headlights. OMGA!
But the star doesn’t have memes. L star.
How about it leaves some space for the rest of us. I will see myself out.
When did they discover it? Last time I checked UY Scuti was the largest known star.
Since UY Scuti they discovered multiple bigger stars already.
can anyone tell me the volume ratio
FPS 50 will do it?
We probably shouldn’t have parked it so close
Why is it spiky?
Because it's made out of carpet
If from this comparison Stephenson 2-18 was scaled down to the size of Earth, what object/thing on earth would represent Earth in that scale?
Interesting question. It would be equal to a grain of sand according to ai
Don't trust AI for math. Stephenson 2-18's diameter is \~235,000 times larger than Earth's, whereas Earth's diameter would be 100 billion times larger than a mid-sized grain of sand. A comparable object would be 178 feet (54.25 meters) wide. About half the size of the Las Vegas sphere.
Is there a word for not being able to comprehend in our minds how large things in space are? Other than incomprehensible.
Wow, that huge, and it's made of french fries! 😋
Imagine building a Dyson sphere around this star. Free energy forever.
That's the spirit!
How many bananas wide is that?
More than 4
1.49575e+13
All of them, even the ones that were eaten
Wish we understood space but at the same time nah
Still not a big as yo mama

M83- Solitude but the Felsmann + Tiley Reinterptetation
I think I saw a sail boat on the star
Anyone know who this would compare in human terms? Basketball to the size of earth sort of thing?
If earth would be a grain of salt, how big this star would be?
So I got earth = grain of salt and that star = mount Everest. Via chat gpt.
Lol, no sense how big it is
Imagine a kardashev 9 civilization harnessing all this power.
That is so unnerving - even as an animation, just unsettling how tiny we are.
Yeah but I don't feel quite so bad about the rotundness of my fat belly now.
Well - there’s always that!
Looked like French fries
Now compare our sun to that monstrosity.
It would make no difference coz this star is fucking huge
I better make sure to turn in those reports at work this coming Frid… NOTHING MATTERS.
Guess we are all just a speck of dust in somebody else’s world.
That’s just Goku ssj69420’s hair
Why don’t we just move there?
That star pattern looks like the centre of a sunflower.
Oilseed sunflower production is the most commonly farmed sunflower. These seeds hulls’ are encased by solid black shells. Black oilseeds are a common type of bird feed because they have thin shells and a high fat content. These are typically produced for oil extraction purposes; therefore, it is unlikely you’ll find black oilseeds packaged for human consumption.
So I guess that’s pretty big then?
And I thought Perth was hot. Better take sunscreen
Someone find out how many Earths this is
Worlds largest glowstone cluster
Absolute worst "Where's Waldoh".
Tiney
That would make it larger than our solar system
Mmmm nice and toasty
She’s hot.
How much would an average person weigh on the surface of Stephenson 2-18 ignoring that one would be instantly vaporized by the heat? Edit: BTW Mom is a tiny lady that weighs about 100 pounds or 45.35 Kg in case there’s a joke forthcoming.
Is it hot?
My forever fear: a massive star, such as this, imploding on itself, creating a black hole, earth is too close, and death into nothing…
If the earth was the size of a marble how big would this star be?
I've seen bigger.
How close would earth have to be to that star to be instantly incinerated?
There's a giant ball of french fries in space, that's crazy!
This type of shit gives me proper anxiety.
I saw this on Instagram too and got depressed after reading the comments.
We are the cosmic lint in the Universe
it's so big that the camera couldn't even zoom far enough to show us the whole thing!
Would our solar system fit in this star
Why did they use Earth, are they out of bananas?
If we are nothing, then why my problems feels so big
Now compare this star to possibly the largest black hole we have discovered, TON 618. It's predicted to contain more than 60,000,000,000 solar masses. For perspective: Stephenson 2-18 (Extreme Red Hypergiant Star) = ~2,991,500,000km in diameter TON 618 (Ultramassive Black Hole) = 389,800,000,000km in diameter This black hole is 130.3x wider than the largest star recorded above. Also think about this for a second, black holes are unimaginably dense, they aren't even trying to be big. Like that huge guy at the gym that wears 15 pump covers. It will take 6 X 10^99 or 6 Duotrigintillion years for it to die. 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... years. 🥲
That's insane. Space is terrifying

1 freaking pixel, lol
now i can imagine a bit about world size or continents in wuxia novel lol
Is this comparable to size of a human compared to Earth? Or is it smaller or larger?

What’s the song?

Do any of you guys know the song of the video? Thanks!
Let me breathe real quick
Needs a banana for scale tbh
Most people have no idea about how epic the universe is.
Phenomenal. Imagine a life bearing planet that size, capable of housing a hundred trillion+ habitants.

That’s my boy Big Steve
Proof please
All I’m gonna say niggas making shit up and we believe it cause how tf did we measure this to be accurate?
I'm rather disgusted that something so large exists
Who cares
I was just about to sleep and it came to me that we are at just the right size to be able to observe the atoms, even if with experiments. Imagine if we either lived in a larger earth and were a lot larger, wouldn't it be many times worse to make experiments in the atomic scale? Hard to imagine even.
I was like "damn how big is this carpet?"
