    Our sun is huge no doubt. But check out the sun compared to these other massive stars. Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky at more 1,000 light years away. In the last picture you can see that our sun isn't even exactly visible. Only 1 pixel

    I fthe sun were to go out right now, it would take eight minutes for us to feel it, because the light traveling to earth takes eight minutes to get here.

    There's a lot of wasted space in the universe isn't there? Whatever created it didn't really think it through
