Mira's comet-like tail stretches a startling 13 light-years across the sky. For comparison, the nearest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri, is only about 4 light-years away. Mira's tail also tells a tale of its history – the material making it up has been slowly blown off over time, with the oldest material at the end of the tail having been released about 30,000 years ago.

what would happen if vy came in contact with earth?

Contact? Impossible. Earth would disintegrate before VY could touch it.

Think about this for a second:

No physical body generates light on it on it's own. It's born in darkness until it gathers light from another source.

Just think about that one.

:whoa:

Suns generate their own light without gathering any, there's also fluorescence where electromagnetic radiation is turned into light and bio-luminescence where living things make their own light.
