You were right to point out that the exact size of some of these huge stars can be very hard to measure. Red giant atmospheres seem to have a more diffuse edge than that of say, the Sun, or Sirius. If you look at photos of Betelgeuse, you can see redder and yellower areas, and a diffuse edge. That's right, the disc of Betelgwuse has been imaged. It is no longer merely a single point.
There’s also the fact that they’re not perfectly spherical. They’re more like big puffy clouds of nuclear inferno that gravity is just barely holding together.
And this new biggest star could still be minuscule compared to stars we haven’t discovered yet. Our universe never ceases to amaze and remind us how tiny and insignificant we are in comparison
Look up Kurgezgat Black hole stars. Youll sh¡t yourself.. i did.. makes my heart sink thinking that theres ultra massive stars that dwarf these bigger stars in this video. Potentially explaining how supermassive black holes got so big so fast.
Stephenson 2-18 took the title of the largest star known from the previous record holders, the red supergiants WOH G64 in the constellation Dorado and UY Scuti in Scutum. WOH G64 has an estimated radius between 1,540 and 1,730 solar radii, which is considerably smaller than St2-18.
Why the flip do people doing these videos decide to change the way words are pronounced. It’s like the rick and Morty episode. Parmesan- come on! Bet tell Guz - I want to slap this person
One of them was rotating so rapidly, it became an irregular shaped blob. The shape of it fluctuated. If it rotated just ten percent faster, it's gravity wouldn't keep it intact. It would fly apart. Thinking the same thing about it. Would it still be a star, or more like a dense nebula ?
Entertaining and informative. Well put visuals, background sounds and the narration makes it really enjoyable to watch. Thanks for uploading the video, and keep them coming!
It's false. Because the WOH G64 I googled its diameter, saying 2111000000 kilometers, while Stephenson 2-18 is 2999700000 kilometers. So Stephenson 2-18 is actually the largest star in the universe.
english bible saying "the world" and hebrew bible saying "the cosmos" is a 99.99% discrepency...... but when try to learn hebrew from ppl they say dont worry its the same ITS NOT!
100B stars in just the milky way and then when you think how many galaxies there are out there and then when you think that the universe that we know is 93B light years across.
I love how some people and robots say "Betelgeuse". I understand that it could be hard to figure out if you've never heard it said before, but you would think a video from a creator called "V101 Space" would get it right.
The world 'Betelgeuse' is derived from Arabic word 'ابط الجوزا' which means 'black and white sheep's armpit' so is there a correct pronounciation for that?
oh that is just an illusion buddy ! you must understand that your lifetime, indeed the lifetime of human history, is not even the blink of an eye in the Earth's history, the Earth is absolutely evolving, it's just that we aren't around long enough to see it. Go watch Melody Sheep's video on the evolution of the universe, where the speed of time doubles every 5 seconds, then you'll see what's in store for earth...
The human mind is incapable of comprehending the sheer scale of the universe. And while it is awesome to speculate we will never be able to comprehend these sizes. And yet we still continue to war and fight each other over the manager resources of an incomprehensibly small speck of dust. It is nothing short of the greatest miracle ever that we have managed to make it as long as we actually have.
@@oberonpanopticon Well, leave it to some dictators to take 'stupendously hard' as a challenge rather than a deterrent. They're out here treating global annihilation like it's the latest trending challenge on social media.
I love these vids. A few years ago, I saw a video saying the largest star (volume, I think) was VY Canis Majoris. One specific fact stuck: if you take an airliner to fly around its equator, it would take 1100 years!
I really don't understand how there can be a limit to the size of a star. Say that 1500x the volume of our sun is a correct limit. Well, what happens if that star merges with another star? Wouldn't that result in a larger star?
Well, there has to be some kind of limit to a star's growth. Otherwise, it would be possible for a star to become the size of the largest black hole and that isn't possible. Stars can only get so big before they either go supernova, become a black hole, turn into a neutron star, etc.
@@RazorbackPT Is that why every galaxy has a massive black hole in the center? It was an instant black hole and the star systems around it are from the remaining matter?
Well, when it comes to mass, the limit is around 150 solar masses because of pressure. The more massive a star is, the more pressure there is in its core. The more pressure in the core of a star, the faster it fuses fuel. The faster it fuses fuel, the more energy it outputs. At a point, it’s outputting so much energy that it ends up blasting away any nearby matter that could’ve made it bigger. The upper limits on radius are less well understood, but are probably related.
BAT 99-98 is at nearly the currently understood "maximum" mass for a star since any more mass would be blown away due intense solar wind. The only stars more massive are the theoretical "black hole stars"
There’s also some accreting object (I forget the name, sadly) with something like 1000 solar masses. But by the time it becomes a proper star most of that will be blasted away.
@@EmilyXiong1999 yes, even though I can tell, I was still able to watch the video, the others I have to switch off immediately as they just grate on your ears
The thing that’s always struck about the immensity of the universe is that the exceptionally big and small are one and the same. Also, we supposedly live in a a mathematical universe, which means there is no such thing as the biggest or smallest number. Therefore one has to conclude we are part of infinity.
I hope I live long enough to see a hyper giant, go hypernova (visible from the northern hemisphere). What a spectacular sight that will be, whenever it does happen.
Since most Red Super-giants aren't spherical and are more like amorphous blobs of hot gas with ever changing shape (just compare multiple images if Betelgeuse take on the past few years for an easy to see example) even estimated the radius may be irrelevant. What is the radius of a constantly changing blob? These stars are also typically variable, meaning they expand and shrink repeatedly over the coarse of maybe years, so even their volumes may actually change between measurements.
If you just alter the perspective, our entire Universe could be a being's body (or part of it). Consider how it resembles the vast amounts of space between individual atoms in our bodies on a microscopic level....I wonder what those beings might be doing....
Its so mind blowing when they show size comparisons of these massive stars next to our sun. And our sun, which itself is insanely HUGE, is absolutely DWARFED by it. I literally cant imagine an object being that big. Making our sun look like a grape, thats just insane. This is why when people say we're alone in the universe, I just stare at them dumbfounded. People just do NOT ever think about the sheer size of the universe. Its literally IMPOSSIBLE that we are the only life in it. Thats like an ant declaring ants are the only life on Earth. And the ant isnt even aware of Earth being any bigger than a street corner.
What's crazy is if in our logic of thinking, The largest star would make us nothing in size. As it stands now, we as humans see micro-organisms as the tiniest thing possible and anything smaller than them would cease to exist , because physically it would be impossible. In our world of thinking about size. Now Zoom into those micro organisms and they become the giants of their worlds. Can you imagine what the micro organisms of their worlds are like? Because placing us against one of those super stars, we literally would be considered impossible to exist in size.
@@_thisnameistaken I am talking about Organisms and life in a scale of 1:10000000000000000 like they explained the stars to our star and life to our life. The size comparison of a human being expanded to the size of one of those Super planets in comparison with the our size and our tiny spec of a dust planet. We wouldn't even be the size of an atom on one of those planets. We wouldn't in our Theories here on Earth, Be able to exist.
So, as amazing as this all is, I wonder how that exactly helps us sort out what's on Earth completely or how to prevent ourselves from destroying everything here before passing the point of no return.
Earth, itself, will limit the damage we can do. In about 50 years, we will be completely out of oil, and the fall-out from that will be massive, rapid and permanent reduction in human population. I'd go into detail, but doing so almost always gets my comment censored.
I'm glad you distinguished between mass and diameter. All too often when comparing planets or stars a commentator refers to one object being twice as big as another. Twice as big in what way? It could have twice the mass, twice the diameter, or twice the volume.
The only limits on their size is the age of the universe. Due to various reasons they can only grow at a certain rate, so just multiply the maximum rate of growth by the age of the universe to get the maximum mass of a black hole in the modern universe. Though ofc because the universe doesn’t care what we think, a fair few black holes we’ve found seem to exceed that limit.
VY CMa was once “the largest star in the universe” and, as of 2020, 2069 solar radii and second only to Stephenson 2-18. Stephenson 2-18 was estimated as being 2150 solar radii, but this was a very rough estimate. VY CMa was, however, backed by earlier estimates that consistently showed a radius greater than 2000 solar radii.
_"It is estimated that if all the material in the Taurus Cloud was collected it would be enough to make our entire solar system nine times over."_ That is one of those well-crafted sentences that immediately and successfully puts a very complex and astounding scenario into clear focus and understanding. Stellar, professional work as always, sir.
Another exceptional video, Rob! It's absolutely mind-boggling how massive these stars can reach in size, and what's more incredible is that bigger ones are being discovered after what is thought to be impossible 🤯
Don't be boggled. They aren't massive, they aren't that far, and they are luminaries. NASA feeds you sheeple food, don't eat it and learn to think for yourself.
Amazing to think about the time it would take at light speed to circumnavigate these stellar giants! Fantastic video -- as you say they'll probably turn JWST on another point of light and discover an even bigger monster star before too long.
Our galaxy is about 100 thousand light years across. The Large Magellanic Cloud is an adjacent satellite galaxy, 160 thousand light years away. The fact that we're discussing an individual star Not in our galaxy is a bit of a mind-blow to me even though we've been looking at the stars in the Tarantula Nebula for a long, long time. The Tarantula Nebula is the primary feature of the LMC, and were it merely 1400 ly away, where the Orion Nebula is, it would span much of the night sky and would cast shadows at night. It is home to some truly massive stars.
anyone else see the UFOs in the first clip showing the milkyway? thought they were satellites at first until i watched a few times and they move randomly, but more or less stay still while the earth spins (like geostationary orbit) however they wobble so they cant be satellites
There is one thing that is for sure in science. Just like some thought, we could never break the sound barrier. Kaaaabooom... they folded the wings back. The largest star has a man made rule of an estimated size limit. In other words... They are known to be wrong.
My old physics professor was on the team that originally broke the sound barrier . He said they weren’t sure what would happen and they had some trepidation about the experiment. The class thought that was amusing because at that time, we’d been breaking the sound barrier since before most of us were born!
Thank you ROB for keeping us all informed about our universe. YOU THE MAN. WHAT IS KNOWN IS THAT i AM CERTAIN IS THE CHANGE IN STAR SIZES. THE UNIVERSE IS JUST GRAND !!!

Hello Rob, thank you for the content. You got my like and subscribed for not having ads. Well done!
ITS NOT BEKKELGOOSE AND NOT ANTERS ITS BEETLEGUSSE AND ANTARES
It’s not “its” it’s “it’s”
Great video. Question: is there a theoretical limit for black holes as well?
The only limits on their size is the age of the universe. Due to various reasons they can only grow at a certain rate, so just multiply the maximum rate of growth by the age of the universe to get the maximum mass of a black hole in the modern universe. Though ofc because the universe doesn’t care what we think, a fair few black holes we’ve found seem to exceed that limit.
you pronounced Betelgeuse wrong
Everyone calls it Behtuhlgurs
Somehow I think Rob is not real but actually AI, which is famous for mispronouncing words…
It's AI
He butchered it
He has to, especially if he says it three times by accident...
VY CMa was once “the largest star in the universe” and, as of 2020, 2069 solar radii and second only to Stephenson 2-18. Stephenson 2-18 was estimated as being 2150 solar radii, but this was a very rough estimate. VY CMa was, however, backed by earlier estimates that consistently showed a radius greater than 2000 solar radii.
_"It is estimated that if all the material in the Taurus Cloud was collected it would be enough to make our entire solar system nine times over."_
That is one of those well-crafted sentences that immediately and successfully puts a very complex and astounding scenario into clear focus and understanding. Stellar, professional work as always, sir.
further proof of how insignificant we are
So, 9.01 solar masses.. honestly doesn’t seem like all that much as far as space goes.
Compare that to η Carinae, which ejected 30 solar masses back in 1848.
4:34 EXCUSE ME, WHAT DID YOU CALL IT!?
Been waiting for a video...
It's snowing here, 4 inches already.. perfect for a v101 video..💙💙👍👌
Extremely well done and very informative. Thank you so much, sir. I liked and subscribed.
did he just call it "bettelgurse"
A visit to Sunspot, New Mexico is a worthwhile adventure.
Another exceptional video, Rob! It's absolutely mind-boggling how massive these stars can reach in size, and what's more incredible is that bigger ones are being discovered after what is thought to be impossible 🤯
Don't be boggled. They aren't massive, they aren't that far, and they are luminaries. NASA feeds you sheeple food, don't eat it and learn to think for yourself.
Excellent narration..
Amazing to think about the time it would take at light speed to circumnavigate these stellar giants! Fantastic video -- as you say they'll probably turn JWST on another point of light and discover an even bigger monster star before too long.
Cannot turn at c (lightspeed), you have to go straight, so circumnavigating a star is impossible.
Yep, it's a hypothetical circumnavigation anyway, as stated in the video.
BANTASATIC AND TRANTASTIC
I've been saying this for years! I have told everyone, "Wait until they discover WOH G64! Then they'll know what a REAL star is!" But nobody listened.
A real WOH moment
Always enjoy your vids ❤
The Sun does not rise & set every day. It stays putt. We revolve around the sun 🌞
Our galaxy is about 100 thousand light years across. The Large Magellanic Cloud is an adjacent satellite galaxy, 160 thousand light years away. The fact that we're discussing an individual star Not in our galaxy is a bit of a mind-blow to me even though we've been looking at the stars in the Tarantula Nebula for a long, long time.
The Tarantula Nebula is the primary feature of the LMC, and were it merely 1400 ly away, where the Orion Nebula is, it would span much of the night sky and would cast shadows at night. It is home to some truly massive stars.
There is more to the universe than meets the eye. The more we know about the universe, the more we don't know about until more discovery is unlocked.
anyone else see the UFOs in the first clip showing the milkyway? thought they were satellites at first until i watched a few times and they move randomly, but more or less stay still while the earth spins (like geostationary orbit) however they wobble so they cant be satellites
The star “bettle gus” hHahaha
It isnt the New larger star, It is the New larger star for us.
True
Bettleguhs? Ai voice need calibration?
There is one thing that is for sure in science.
Just like some thought, we could never break the sound barrier.
Kaaaabooom... they folded the wings back.
The largest star has a man made rule of an estimated size limit.
In other words...
They are known to be wrong.
My old physics professor was on the team that originally broke the sound barrier . He said they weren’t sure what would happen and they had some trepidation about the experiment. The class thought that was amusing because at that time, we’d been breaking the sound barrier since before most of us were born!
Bettlegurz??!!😆😆😆
Bettle-🤯
You MUST be kidding. 😂🤣😭
Thank you ROB for keeping us all informed about our universe. YOU THE MAN.
WHAT IS KNOWN IS THAT i AM CERTAIN IS THE CHANGE IN STAR SIZES. THE UNIVERSE IS JUST GRAND !!!
IM SERIOUS STOP MAKING THE STARS NAMES MISSPELLED ITS NOT UB SCOOTY ITS UY SCUTI
😂 he said bettlegurse
2160p 4k visual, beautiful!
Bettleguzz 😂
How
Beetleguese
XD
