Fascinating. I love videos like this. I honestly have never thought about how large distant stars might be in relation to our own.

Btw, lordnull, you can vote for your own posts, icydk.

More videos that do a great job of demonstrating the insignificance of mankind:
Monkeys - A Short Movie About What We Are
IBM: Powers Of Ten (amazing 9 minute science video).

Is there supposed to be no sound?

I always feel kinda dirty voting for my own posts; as though I'm trying to shore it up

Both good vids, Lucky, it makes the day to day grind a little more bearable somehow. Just as you think 'wow, that's massive,' then an even large star comes into view.

There was no sound on the video, Coreburn, but I dont' see how it really needed any.

There has to be a "your mum" joke in there somewhere...

Seriously though, very cool clip.

What's amazing to me is that those stars are almost as big as our entire planetary solar system. From here to Neptune is roughly 4,497,000,000 km. W Cephei would reach from the Sun to half-way between Uranus and Neptune.

Yes, the gap between Uranus and neptune is huge.

We had a video on here somewhere that mentioned that scientists have gotten fed up with the Uranus jokes - so they're changing the name to Urectum.

(bah-dum-bum)

yeah it's good without sound. Too many visual videos are ruined by a bad or stupid music track.

Wow watching this actually made me feel sick and another thing where is Uranus? All jokes aside they had every planet but one, the people of that planet are going to file a petition. Also I thought blue stars were the biggest, or was that the hottest? Hmmm
