Maybe we're all insignificant little people living in locker 31A of the universe....

Yeah, that's pretty incredible stuff! It makes me wonder if we'll ever get out there and actually start exploring space like in star trek.

What is really crazy is that you can't view both stars in their entirety at the same time, its physically impossible for a human to do.

You can view the sun to the point where you can just barely see it, but then you can't see all of the other star, you would only be able to see something like a hundredth of it.

On the other hand, if you go far enough back to be able to view that entire colossal star, then you wouldn't be able to see the sun because in comparison it is less than a grain of sand. Its like trying to see a very small speck of dust on the wall while you sit ten feet away from it.

Here is another thought; How far away exactly do you have to be to be able to view that entire star?? You can view the entire earth just from the moon! But if you were on the moon and earth was that star, not only would you be instantly pulled into it, but if you weren't, all you would see is that star. It would be as if you were looking at the sky, you would have no idea that what you were actually looking at is a huge star.

That really makes you feel small but then again I've always known I was just a tiny spec in the universe. The fact about not being able to see the sun and the largest star at once is just mind blowing.
