Sounds like a geeky name too!   The sun is just a little speck compared to the size of VY Canis Majoris which is estimated to be 1800 to 2100 solar radii (1 solar radius is the radius of the sun – obviously and hence the term solar radius). Here are some facts about the sizes of these stars.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VY_Canis_Majoris   This is the list of largest known stars.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_known_stars   And some comparisons with some of our planets including the earth with the size of the sun and the size of the 15th largest star. http://www.co-intelligence.org/newsletter/comparisons.html   Can you imagine if we lived on a planet as big as the VY Canis Majoris? Technically it would have not been possible even if it did have an atmosphere and water and everything else conducive to existence of life..   Joe _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ Doug -- Doug Blair d...@blairing.com +1 224-558-5462 200 North Arlington Heights Road Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004 ITILv3 _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_
