So, I'm doing a little research today, and got a pretty harsh lesson in perspective. If our sun were 1mm in diameter, comparatively speaking, VY Canis Majoris would be 2.1 meters. OR VY Canis Majoris would hold approximately 700 quadrillion (yes, that's a fucking LOT) earths inside of it. OR An object moving at the speed of light would circumnavigate our sun in about 14.5 seconds. The same object would take over 8 hours to circle Canis Majoris. And, that is still very easily within the boundaries of our galaxy alone. ..... Moral of the story: My achy shoulder suddenly doesn't really feel all that bad.
