Size of Stars

Ever wonder how big stars are? Check out the video below, which compares 'big' objects like our moon to the largest known stars in the universe. The video starts with the moon and gradually moves through larger and larger celestial objects. You'll be amazed when the video gets to the Sun, but you'll be even more blown away when the video continues further!

You'll be writing a brief response to the video. What amazed you? How did this video change your thinking about the size of celestial objects? How does it make you feel that there are such enormous objects out in space, compared to the size of Earth?
