Considering the universe is infinite, any point can be considered its center.
May as well be me.
[–]GringoDeMaio 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
I don't want to spoil your line, but I don't think there is any consensus that the universe is infinite. My (admittedly rudimentary) understanding is that the universe is continuously expanding, which would imply that it is finite in size at any given moment (if it were infinite, how could it be expanding?).

I don't understand how the fuck that last star exists.
[–]RequireMoreMinerals 46 points47 points48 points 11 months ago
"Like all red giants and hypergiants, VY Canis Majoris is so big because it has exhausted all the hydrogen fuel in its core, and has begun fusing hydrogen on a shell outside of a helium core. In fact, VY Canis Majoris is so big that it can fuse together helium, lithium, and so on, all the way up the periodic table to iron and beyond."
Hope that answers your question. :)
[–]DZ302 12 points13 points14 points 11 months ago
I thought stars couldn't fuse Iron.
[–]Barrrrrrnd 51 points52 points53 points 11 months ago
I have a feeling that star could fuse anythig it wanted, mainly because it could beat up all the other stars taht had a problem with it.
Seriously though, the size comparison here actually makes my brain hurt a little. Trying to conceptualize infinity is dumb, but for me trying to think of a star that is bigger than our solar system just boggles.

[–]YoungSerious 7 points8 points9 points 11 months ago
Not bigger than our solar system really. If placed where our sun is, the diameter of VY Canis Majoris would extend just outside Saturn's orbit. I am determining "size" only by diameters though. It would sit technically inside our solar system.
[–]Barrrrrrnd 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago*
Fair enough, thanks for the actual info. The star itself would fit, but I would bet that it's zone of influence, e.g. Photoshpere/Chromosphere would be much larger still... crazy.
EDIT: I type faster than my brain moves.
[–]iongantas 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
More like trying to think of a star bigger than the solar system of a star bigger than our solar system.
[–]JDlegendist 22 points23 points24 points 11 months ago
After Iron, the amount of energy released is less than the energy required to undergo fusion, and so it isn't a stable process. http://i.imgur.com/G4qAa.jpg This explains a bit. The max of the curve is Iron. When the core of a star becomes Iron, the amount of energy being released is no longer enough to resist the gravitational forces trying to implode the star, and so it does that (slightly more complex but..), it implodes in a Supernova explosion. These enormous amounts of energy is want causes the Iron to fuse again into the heaviest elements such as Gold or Uranium. Hope this answers your question a bit.
[–]superfusion1 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
ok, now how do I mine that Gold so I can be richer than God?
[–]codefocus 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
You can fund an asteroid mining mission to the Kuiper Belt tomorrow if you'd like.
For a few billion dollars you could make gold worth about a penny an ounce.
hmm... good point. ok nevermind.
[–]hcwdjk 5 points6 points7 points 11 months ago
Technically they can, but they won't get any energy out of it.
[–]OneVariable 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago
Iron is the highest element on the periodic table a star can fuse if I remember correctly. I don't remember exactly why, but it has something to do with the energy available within the atoms. In order to fuse elements above iron you need to gain energy, where as elements fused below iron give off energy.
[–]booOfBorg 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago*
If they couldn't there would be no iron in the universe.
Edit: Some quantities of iron are also produced in supernovae, but most of it is created through nuclear fusion. Iron is the sixth most abundant element in the Universe.

I'm not sure if you're serious, but creation theory or no, this is our playground. Whether or not there is other intelligent lifeforms out there is immaterial in the face of such vastness. There is simply so much, for lack of a better word, space in space that we can consider all of it ours. The beautiful thing is that even when we claim it all, there is still more. There are (probably) stars out there that are so far away that light from them and light from our star have not had time to meet yet. There are places in this universe that no human will ever know of, much less see with their own eyes. There are entire world, solar systems, galaxies so far away that we can't reach them before the heat-death of the universe. Specks of foam lost in the endless sea that is our universe. Specks of foam larger than anything we've ever known.
This place we live in is ours to see, and we will never see it all; never discover all of it's secrets. We are tiny, infinitesimal, but no less significant than VY Canis Majoris that impresses us so. Do you believe that that star is even close to the biggest thing, even in reachable space?

[–]Dakillakan 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago
I love your point, however there probably is an upper limit to the size of a star and Canis is pretty close, after that you collapse to a black hole. I am no physicist though, so it might be much larger.
[–]batshitinsane 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago*
I want to agree, but why does part of me think that we're so arrogant to think that the universe revolves around us?
[–]The_Dirty_Carl 6 points7 points8 points 11 months ago
It does, you just have to draw the orbits a little differently. It's all a matter of perspective.
Some say, "Look at the breadth of the visible universe. A quarter held at arm's length covers millions of entire galaxies, full of billions of stars; we are insignificant."
I say, "Sure, we're small. We are also young. Alexander, Charlemagne, Napoleon were all babes once. One could say, 'Look at this infant, he has done nothing. An insignificant speck.' But look at what they accomplished, those insignificant specks. Look how far we've come in the last two hundred years. We've gone from covered wagons to setting foot on another celestial body, sent our machinations to many others. Instantly, on an astronomical timescale. Our species has existed for less than an eyeblink, from the Sun's view."
Perhaps it isn't our size or power that makes us significant. Perhaps it is simply because we exist. We live, die, love, learn, rejoice, suffer. I think, therefore I am. I am, therefore I matter.

I'm such a pussy, man. I get homesick when I'm an hour away from my room. What if I was an astronaut? Fuck that shit.

I imagine all of those massive stars screaming and yelling.
[–]OzymandiasReborn 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
And keep in mind the 3 dimensionality... It makes it seem even larger.
Things like this, astronomical distance scales, and age of the universe scales, really hammer home how small and unimportant we are.

Does anyone else get overwhelmed to the point of feeling slightly nauseous when they see this sort of thing?

This really does show how insignificant we really are. This makes me a saaaaaad panda.

Why are some stars a different colour from others?

If a spaceship left Earth travelling at the speed of light at the beginning of human history, it would just now have made it to the nearest galaxy, Andromeda. There are about 125 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

My brain can not comprehend...
[–]swoopingdragon 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
The whole time I was expecting some horror image popping up
"Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen.."

It never gets old, does it?
[–]upboat_express 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
My mind will never comprehend the sheer magnitude of the Universe.
It's just never going to happen.
Sure, I can think, "Wow. That's big." But I'll never be able to understand just how much of an understatement that really is.
Hell, I have problems grasping just how big our own world is, let alone others.
There are all these places that I will never be able to go to, never be able to see, to stare at in wonder. This feeling... I can't describe it.
