Our Universe - Peru - 09-07-2009

This school year I've been assigned a class called "Astronomy". As you all should know, that's the study of our universe. To get into a more specific topic, let's talk about our Sun. Our sun is huge. However, it is just a medium-sized star. So what do other stars look like and how big are they? Well, after a little searching, I found a video that truly shows the size of the biggest stars known in our galaxy.

Warning! Prepare to feel negligible and totally worthless!

Many of you may find this video boring. While others, similarly to me, will truly have a new appreciation and aspect about the true size of our Universe.

No, watch the video closely. Our sun is shown at 00:34. VV Cephei is a red hypergiant star located in The Milky Way.
