It genuinely makes me happy to see someone so excited about space when this technology to explore space exists, and you made it successful showing tens of thousands of people space in a fun and curious way

Fun fact Stephenson 2-18 (St2-18, also known as Stephenson 2-18 and RSGC2-18)[3] is a red supergiant (RSG) or red hypergiant (RHG) star. It is close to, and a possible member of, the open cluster Stephenson 2. It is about 6, 000 parsecs (20, 000 ly) away from Earth in the constellation of Scutum and is one of the largest known stars.

Hope you had a good rest after that crazy stream. Congrats on 51k!
Edit: 52k!

Try terraforming Kelt-9B, one of the highest temperature planets ever found

[robloxadventures]

Bros got the whole universe on his PC 💀💀

[bigyaum]

I find these large stars interesting, it's really weird to think how big their habitable zone would be depending on how much heat it gives off and how many life sustaining planets could exist around a star this massive

[tap_mist-pd]

try colliding using Stephenson 2-18 and Ton 618 in universe sandbox please c:

Stephenson vs biggest blackhole ever found 💀

[NathanR]

Stephenson 2-18 is so big that it can fit 10 billion suns in it

[tulxar]

Yo thank you you inspired me to get into space stuff

[mmdi]

The sun is so small that even its name is bigger than itself when compared to Stephenson.

[mefor]

You forgot the put our sun in the comparison at the end.

[hemasingh]

find the most perfect circular thing !

[RVPissBoys]

It legitimately takes light years to even traverse the surface.

[grey_kgaming]

Go to the black hole in the middle of our galaxy and compare it next to the biggest black hole ever found

[TheSilverShadow]

The shape is also because of it's insanely low surface density which is several million times less than that of our Sun which explains the irregular shape of the object.

[NTVE]

Suggestion: Put our solar system in a nebula and see what it looks like

[AtefGhali]

Auto Photo Mode Made it Look Like Mars's Moon Phobos

[meagan]

Fun fact: a black hole star is actually 3k times bigger and more mass than Stephenson 2-18 and its so massive that it can survive its own death (aka a supernova)

[BananaSackboy]

That looks like a popcorn that about to almost popped out
