great thread
The universe is huge, bet you already knew that. But, perhaps you didn’t know exactly how huge it really is. Consider the following facts:
Our sun is so big that if you hollowed it out, it would hold 1 million, 300 thousand of our earths.
There is a star called “Antares” that is so big that if you hollowed it out, it would hold 64 million of our suns.
A star in the constellation Hercules is so big that, if hollowed out, could hold 100 million “Antares” stars.
And the largest known star – Epsilon – is so big that, if hollowed out, would hold several million Hercules stars or 27 billion of our suns.

you can lost for awhile looking at this shyt.
Random Space Fact:
Bolded for effect. Can you imagine a sun 27 BILLION times larger than hour sun? I can barely even to begin to wrap my mind around that. Imagine a star so massive that there's a star forming around it as a planet would around a smaller star.:
And if we know of it it's certainly not anywhere near the biggest star of the hundreds of sextillions out there. More information for those who want it:

Great site. I think about what's beyond the universe, like the universe is constantly expanding but what is it expanding into? What's in that "space"?
The universe is expanding at such a rate that at some point it has to collapse on itself right?
Think about how far away the sun is and how it can burn you and an object that is 27 billion times larger and you can't even feel its effects. Unfathable how far away it is...
I wonder what else goes on in the sky that no one notices.
I always thought the universe just is. No beginning or end it just exist. If it did collapse what would be outside of it? Is the universe in side of something bigger than itself. If someone post an article that says yes it'd blow my fukkin mind.
Is every star the same as the sun? Like are they all made of the same thing? Are they all a big ball of fire like our sun?
LOL We dont even know all of what goes on in the oceans.
what if the universe/space is really just a giant photo or hologram that our programmers have shot up in the sky to trick us into thinking there is more shyt outside of our little cage
Watch this. It's related and will fukk ya head up if you're a psychics/science nerd like me.
