Re: Obama's Budget Cuts

Speaking of scales...the star VY Canis Majoris is a billion times bigger than our sun.

Quote:

If the Earth were to be represented by a sphere 1 cm (0.39 inch) in diameter, the Sun would be represented as a sphere with a diameter of 109 cm (43 inch), at a distance of 117 meters (384 feet). At these scales, VY Canis Majoris would have a diameter of approximately 2.3 kilometers (1.42 miles)

The Sun's size relative to Canis Majori.
