I didn't even know of a lot of these stars...I can admit that. Shamefully.

The reason I feel shameful about it is because I find this kind of stuff fascinating. It's amazing that we know about such much out there, but humans ourselves have only stepped next door.

...and to think we haven't even scratched the surface of what's really going on out there!

VY Canis Majoris is the largest star. Canis Majoris is the genitive of the constellation Canis Major. All stars with Canis Major are named with either Greek letters or Latin letters in front of them to identify them.

Yep. As large as the largest stars are, they are absolutely nothing compared to the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies, which are absolutely nothing compared to galaxies, which are absolutely nothing compared to clusters of galaxies, which are absolutely nothing compared to the vast empty stretches of space that are out there between the clusters.

The universe is an incomprehensibly large place. It is boggles the mind to think that we can look up into the night sky, and see stars whose light took millions of years to reach us. Honestly, people who say that we are the only life in the universe are taking an incredibly arrogant and ignorant view of existence.

Exactly . There are some pretty awesome videos on YouTube displaying the same thing. It's pretty intimidating stuff to be honest. The last frame of that animation was totally awesome.
