Dog star, I see you in the morning
Dog star, a' sleeping next to me
Dog star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dog star.

I'm pretty sure I emit farts that are more substantial.

That's Canis Majoris, one of the largest stars we know of. Our sun is so small compared to Canis Majoris, you can't even see it without zooming in on a tiny portion of the photo. Now think how small Earth is compared to Canis Majoris. That shite is crazy.



That star is so large that if you put it in our solar system, it's diameter would go beyond Saturn and only leave us with Uranus and Neptune as planets.

A couple larger ones were also discovered: NML Cygni and UY Scuti, both over 1,600 times the radius of the sun.

And somewhere in space there are probably things trillions of times bigger than that. Trying to wrap your mind around the size of space is impossible for any human in 2015.

It is probably about as significant as a grain of sand in the grand scheme of things....but it also could hold the secret to space one day. The fact is no human knows shite about space since it is infinite which means even the smartest human only knows .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of how it works and what it is and that is being infinitely generous.
