I've seen this on YTMND. Our own galaxy is a monstrous sized place, especially if you consider that this star is still less than 1/1,000,000 of a pixel on a map representing the entire galaxy.

Truly awe-inspiring. This thing is estimated to be 1800-2100 times as big as our sun. It would take LIGHT more than 8 hours to travel around the circumference.

And our galaxy is a tiny speck in a universe that is estimated to span about 93 billion light years...

I wish I could imagine it, sadly there is no point of reference for something so immense.

Well, think of it this way - this one star is so massive that it would extend from the current position of the sun nearly all the way to Jupiter, and the planet would be vaporized. Or you could imagine a single car being our sun. Now pile 1800-2100 more cars around it, and you have the size of this monster.
