I knew VY Canis Majoris was the biggest star, but I had no idea it was that big.

Damn, earth is like small as fuck compared to those.

I sometimes just spend hours and hoursthinking about the universe/the multiverse..
Let me tell you this, If there is a "god" or "deity" or "Creator" WE ARE NOTHING but specs of nothing to "it"
and I would doubt "it" even would know of our existance.

More like microscopic. The Sun would be milliscopic, you could probably see it there with a magnifying glass, but you need a strong microscope to see the earth. (referring to the last frame)
Sirius and up, were of course all giant stars or "Suns" and are so big, they most likely have no planets around them.
Eta Carinea, the bar bell looking thing in the upper right corner of one frame (Betelgeuis in upper left), is the BRIGHTEST thing in the galaxy. Astronomers don't even know if it's a star, they really aren't convinced it is.

but if the multiverse theory is true, then it could go on for infinite!
To the point where it is impossible to see the earth...

Not sure I follow. My example Steve was just imaginary, as if in the last frame, we or (God) could pluck the Sun and Earth up and place them in orbit near VY, (as indicated in the last frame), then you'd need a microscope to see the Earth, w.r.t the perspective you were looking at.
Right now our planet is too small to see with the best man-made telescopes if we were on the next star system over and looking back here. However, by using star light dimming and even measuring minute wobbles in the star's rotation, scientists have discovered over 300 extra-solar planets so far....but none optically, as in a direct sight.
(but next gen Hubble due up in a few years, could break that barrier). That would be too cool :)

definately alien planets everywhere! .... I even saw a UFO one night up at my cottage one night like 10 years ago now... shook the whole place, looked out the window at what was the bottom of the ship with lights all around the outside of the circulur ship, then all of a sudden, BAM! flew off so quick and just left a small trail.... NO LIE!

back in the day when i was working mobile security i was talking to this one guard at downsview park, he was so convinced he saw a UFO it was jokes, pretty much what he claimed to have seen was one of these bad boys, damn i remember him saying to how he thought it was at least as big as a football field.
fukin aliens are everywhere if you ask me, i read somewhere they have an underground base in the antartica too.[br][link={e_FILE}public/1238551258_47_FT21410_illinoissighting.jpg][img:width=120&height=88]{e_FILE}public/1238551258_47_FT21410_illinoissighting_.jpg[/img][/link][br]

1. Great visualization, however even after that there isn't anyone out there that can fully understand the size of most of the stars in the universe.
2. If you find this interesting look into the entanglement theories out there. They discuss that everything is interconnected. Basically the "empty" space that we have around us isn't all that "empty".

Reality is a dream.
You're really an energy being floating in the depths of space billions of light-years away from any significant mass.

Technically your not wrong in the sense that we are made up of energy, however I'd disagree with the rest.

We are energy. Do you know about your 7 chakras?
E=mc^2 if that's what you mean. There's enough mass in the human body, if it was all converted to pure energy at once, it would vaporize the planet Earth.
In a 100Mton blast (largest H-bomb yield to date) only 1.1 micro grams are converted to pure energy. Think what 180Kg would look like?

Another good vid along the same lines, Journey to the Center of the Universe, was on Discovery about 3 weeks ago.
