A well spent couple of minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEheh1BH34Q Canis Majoris has an impressive size, about 1400 times the diameter of the Sun. The volume ratio is massive: 1400^3 = 2.7 billion times the volume of the Sun. But it is only 17 times the mass of the Sun, so it's average density is 17/2700000000 = 0.000000006 as much as the sun. Basically it's outer layers are wispy clouds of probably warmish gas. I doubt it has a well defined surface as portrayed in the video. Nonetheless that is one of my favorite videos. ID: 1419038 ·

Read about it a few times. But who can you call an expert then, even with those molecular weight changes, everybody learned about the chemical elements and the periodic table in school. And that's something we can all grasp, let alone the things there are we have no clue about and will maybe never understand... rOZZ Music Pictures ID: 1423764 ·
