This Star is So Big It Would Swallow Our Entire Solar System! 🌌🔥 #spaceexploration #space #universeAdded:
What if I told you there's a star so massive that an airplane would take 1,100 years just to fly around it once?
Meet Stephenson 2-18, the largest star ever discovered. To understand [music] its scale, if you replaced our sun with this monster, it wouldn't just swallow Earth, it would stretch all the way past the orbit of Saturn. It is over 2,000 [music] times wider than our sun and glows with the intensity of nearly half a million stars. It's so big that light itself [music] takes 9 hours just to travel around its circumference. It makes our entire [music] solar system look like a microscopic grain of sand, which always makes you wonder.
