This feels like I'm learning about space from a fourth grader telling me about a space video they just watched in school

How do these massive giants not collapse sooner than they do? Absolutely astonishing that a star like this is even possible. Wow!

[jamessmith]

Dam Pluto would be habitable with a star that bright😅

Stars larger than woh g64:
Nml cygni: 1640 suns
Iras 05280-6910: 1367 - 1736 suns
Vx sagittarii: 1350 - 1940 suns
M31-rv: 2000 suns
Godzilla: 430 - 2365 suns
Stephenson 2-18: 2150 suns (might be overestimated)
Woh g17: 2955 suns (extreme overestimation)
N6946-bh1: 1217 - 2720 suns (collapsed into black hole)

Have you guys made an origin of elements video? Like a video explaining how the elements of the periodic table are made?

[kegelschneckenmett]

Nice docu, but what about Stephenson 2-18 and UY-Scuti?

[sdwone]

I LOVE Science! And when it comes to the Cosmos, we Puny Humans are REALLY put in our place! 😊

Stars varry so much during their lifespan, the leaderboard for volume will constantly change forever.

I love how this has the same exact title as the video V101 SPACE as made

[SKEC]

That second narrator used to be the voice in kid's toy commercials.

Why would the black holes drift away from each other?

[williammontgrain]

Only five minutes on the topic in the title. Barely better than clickbait.

[whochecksthis]

Most supergiants are in their death throes, no? Destined to go nova…

[TheMiojox]

I wonder how long would be a year on a planet orbiting the habitable zone of this star

[ThoreClips]

It’s like a cloud of plasma than a star

[rickjensen]

The magetic field will get "Tarnished"? It's a magnetic field, Not a set of silverware lol.

[Corrected]
[Not] Fake news..
UY sciti is ~1700x [~909x based on a 2023 measurment] and
Stephenson 2-18 is [theorized to be ] ~2150x our suns radius [but its size and location is still in debate]
[I] might want to do more research... woh g64 is [the] big[gest.Thanks for the great vedio.I initially thought this was incorrect info, but doing my own sanity check shows it's accurate.]

How can a red supergiant be bigger than red hypergiant?

[DarkSabre]

This star isn't that large. The star is fairly big in terms of physical size of it's corona and photosphere but it's not the largest by any stretch of the term. When you talk about the size of a star you normally talk about it's mass. Because nearly all main sequence stars will get to the red giant and red super-giant phase and get this large. At only 25 solar masses this star (while 25x the mass of the Sun) is meh in relative terms. Once you get into truly massive stars such as those that weigh in at 100 solar masses or more ... that's when things get cosmically spicy.
