![UY Scuti - Former Largest Star Ever Discovered [OOTW]](/img/n.gif)
My biggest reason for wanting immortality is to see the universe explored.
Exactly! You get it.
Ow yes ! I want! My secret dream!
Dude nothing could be much better ❤️
Same
But you’d have a real problem after the heat death of the universe because you’d be alone in every sense of the word. Can you entertain yourself for all of eternity?
Straight to the point, no blabbering. great narration, great music, 5 minutes long, flawless video! Simply one of the TOP channels in the known Universe! :)
No ads either
@ivø Agreed, 100%
Thanks man appreciate it
YES, YES, YES!!!!
Apart from the glowing neutron star at the start!
Pluto: “UY, I know the feels bruh”
Lol
Periodt
VY Canis Majoris is just crying in the corner rocking back and forth saying.
"I am a big star. I am a big star. I am a big star"
lol XD
@@MP-ut6eb I wish that Stephenson 2-18 was our Sun at the center of the Solar System instead of the Sun.
The fact it’s millions of years old and is still young and is still growing just shows the sheer scale of our universe and how old it is
M we are "diddly squat"
Only God can do this
So if it’s millions of years then wouldnt we be in the year 2 million ?
@@melo7572 Only Allah can;Naked truth
@M I think you should get more time and ask yourself these three questions ;1.where did we come from? 2.what is the purpose and 3.where are we going? The Quran is the only Holy book that will help you find the perfect answers to the questions above because it's proven in all aspects of life. Try it you will not regret brother. Just do a simple research
Feel bad for UY Scuti. Imagine losing your title over a measuring error :/
Didn't deserve it in the first place.
Imagine believing the measurement
UY SCUTI is not even the second largest. It is in 82nd position now. VY Canis Majoris is in 11th position. Betelguse at 67th position
9 inches, I swear.
Well, UY Scuti was actually lucky. It got to hold the title of champion for a while without ever really deserving it.
This insanely entertaining, disturbingly enjoyable and just flat out mind blowing, i love every bit of new information about the cosmos
@@kartik9914 20% of the mindblowing content. This is not a movie, this is reality which is the most impressive
@@kartik9914 I agree. The music is dramatic. Especially the horns when they show a new star. I like it though.
I really like this comment.
It's nothing about the music, its just the wonderment of space.......
What's even more mind blowing is that there could EVEN BIGGER stars out there waiting to be discovered.
I just love the universe, it's so fascinating
Yep, we can only measure stars that are in our own galaxy, I think. So, Stephenson might be the biggest star in the Milky Way, but certainly not in the universe.
@@jeffo9396 the biggest star in the universe exists only for a fraction of time. Until the next one comes along
Eso si es verdad hay soles muchos más grandes que no se han descubierto quasi star es la más grande pero hay más grandes que esa
UY Scuti: "I.....I JUST GOT OUT OF THE POOL, SHUT UP" *runs away crying*
Pluto: “Join the club man....we have our own monogrammed club jackets here!”
The sun: ay come back UY, i wanna see you go supernova
WOH-G64:Is anyone not gonna Realise i am the biggest star >:(
??? star:u say what now?
WOH-G64:ummmm shi; *ded*
I always give it a pass when astronomers make mistakes about the size of objects.
Have you ever tried to raise a ruler up to the sky, squint and try to read those numbers? That's really hard!
And scientists rarely say that their measurements are perfect anyway. The ones that do try that usually lose their credibility.
Since all of the astronomical measurements aren't real, they're done via mathematics, which is a concept. Its like a simulation of measurements, and can only be estimated, never 100% true.
@@DaxMarko into thick you mean that they arent direct measurements. To do the math you still have to measure something. They make different measurements of things like luminosity, and several other things, then use math and whichever way the measurements work with each other to determine distance. Similar to how if you measure the speed that a car is moving at, and the amount of time its moving you can calculate the distance traveled. That doesnt mean that measurements of the speed and the time weren't real measurements.
@@Sciguy95 You can measure speed and amount of time moved with the car because you have confident instruments and the car is right there. With the objects like stars, they literally cannot measure them in any way. The "measurements" numbers they get, are all estimated as well. Basically imagined. That's why I said its not real measurements. Their instruments don't measure either, only calculate whatever they input, and even then the result is very rough with huge error margins.
Also, just to clarify, telescope is not a measurement tool.
@@DaxMarko just look up the different direct measurements they can make like luminosity, the types of radiation given off and the ratio of different types of radiation. Look up how they calculate distance using parallax. And again, no matter what the error bars are, any form of measurement is real. A fake measurement would just be something someone made up. I dont know if you're some kind of science denier or what, but I suggest leaving the things to the actual experts instead of acting like you know more than them.
Few years later:
Breaking news: Scientists have found a new star that is even bigger than Stephenson 2-18. They named it: therewillalwaysbeabigone 9-000.
....and yet the smallest form (microscopic), a living organism kills hundereds of thousands called *covid-19*
1 trillion years later:
We found probably the most biggest star in the multiverse
Stamptson 34-9625 IU
😂😂😂
They failed on measuring it yet they can tell how old the star is. Mind blown.
And it exploded... at that size, how long do they last?
Great as always! UY Scuti may not make it to the top ten largest stars, but you and your channel certainly make it to my top 3 channels about space! Truly wonderful!
Stephenson 2-18 is enormous and fascinating. I have never heard of this massive star. I've heard of other massive stars like UY Scuti, RMC 136a1, VY Canis Majoris, Betelgeuse, and Antares. I think the kings of the stars are Stephenson 2-18, UY Scuti, and RMC 136a1.
Anton Petrov mentioned about this star 1-2 months ago
@Jason Vincent I Never meant to degrade this channel..I said that he was the first one to inform about this..it's not my fault that people dislike this channel or Anton Chanel bcoz of my comment lol
@Jason Vincent I would like like to watch Anton but his speech pattern drives me crazy.
R136A1 is not large, but it is extremely massive. 10 million times brighter than the sun, and visible on the other side of the galaxy, if there’s nothing blocking in between
I went to school with him and he was a skinny, frail kid.
Once the James Webb space telescope is launched then we will find out who is the top heavyweight in the milky way.
In 18 years when they get it up there...
I think an even more powerful telescope will launch before the James Webb
If they ever launch it. I was so excited about it once but now it’s just fizzled out....
@@bickboose9364 what?
Which country is working on it?
Im so dissapointed at the slow pace launching of James webb telescope
Something that massive exists in the same plane of existence as us and yet we still can't see it. Incredible. We can only ever dream of being able to explore the vast reaches of the cosmos.
I was enthralled. The narration, the haunting music, this was one hell of a presentation.
I'm gonna see if I can visit these stars in Elite Dangerous :D
I'm still playing the first elite.just committed an act of terrorism on a space station and have about 15 space ships trying to blast me out of the Universe😂
The music is awesome, it sounds mysterious and seems to fit this topic really well.
Can we just take a moment for the great music in the background
So it seems that I have caused some confusion when talking about the estimated number of stars in the universe! To clarify, the number I mentioned in the video is from a British system that doesn't seem to be used very often anymore. A quadrillion in this system is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1 followed by 24 zeros). However, in the American system (which is used more widely) a quadrillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000 (1 followed by 15 zeros). And so the number of estimated stars in the universe would be more than a Septillion if you are using the American large number system. Apologies for any confusion this might have caused, but nonetheless, there are ALOT of stars out there.👍🏻😊
I've not heard of "quadrillion" as being anything other than fourth in line of large numbers, i.e. million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, with quintillion being the largest "practical" number (though further names exist), and anything beyond is nearly always expressed as an exponent. NOTE: From what I've read, the _short scale_ as I've described (10^15) is the standard, while the _long scale_ (10^24) is antiquated, like £sd (pounds, shillings and pence; pre-decimal).
Wait.. Really?! Lol as if our systems of measurements weren’t already crazy enough, you gotta tell me this! Lmao in all seriousness, thanks for clearing that up, I honestly had no clue... I thought exponential numbers were equal across the field.
Wow
Just imagine if that number come up on your bank balance at the ATM machine
David Quinn - lol! It’s possible yes. ....but probably in a quadrillion years’ time.
Just the other day I thought Scuti was the big one, now we have a new shining beast on the map. The rate in which we discover new things in space is stunning.
I totally agree!!!
Scuti is not that big. It is much smaller than we thought. Currently it is in 82nd position in the list of largest star. CANIS MAJORIS in 11th position
Simply spectacular what can be learned from our interstellar neighbourhood 🌈🤯🐸
@@menon_ji4984
How it changed, today uy scuti is ranked at the 5th position of largest stars, when vy canis majoris is in 25th place
@@Secret-ts8vn It was given like that, when Stephenson was discovered but now again changed.
We hear the numbers, massive numbers. Comprehension, on the other hand....
True, after all, you can understand that multiple earths can fit inside of Jupiter, but you can't quite grasp it.
League of the Damned uhhh this star is HUGE compared to our sun, our sun to this star is pretty much a spec, this star can guaranteed fit over 5 million earths in it, not thousands.
League of the Damned I meant suns not earths, I truly do believe 5 million + suns can fit in this star. And I did read it, as I just said, wrote the wrong thing. I haven’t slept in like 30 hours tho so it makes sense, I’m not at full awareness.
Yeah, these numbers arent for everyone
Why didn't I found this channel earlier. Great content. Mesmerised by the way the narrator speaks.
The narration, topic and music is on point! 👍
UY scuti: this is not fair!!!!
Pluto: I feel your pain
I’m always so excited to see when you post a video. Your video quality is unmatched.
Dude I so much love!!! Your documentaries that I think I have nearly watched all and I keep watching over and over again
I love the music at the end lol it made this video seem so serious.
Great video. Perseids are looking amazing these days.
This videos are incredible!! This channel deserves more views!!!
Straight to point and not wasting time. Flawless video. This content which is excellent. You deserve more subs!
For some reason CZcams brought me here while I was browsing randomly during this quarantine and oh boy I love your contents. Thanks for the video!~ Subscribed and look forward to your next one. cheers
Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos and welcome to the channel. V
It's hard to imagine how ginormous this star is!!
And it's equally hard to imagine how many such fascinating colossal celestial bodies exist in the cosmos, how they can form and exist and how intriguing their properties can be...!!
Stephenson 2-18 is extremely gi-every cuss word in the book-normous is an understatement!
thanks for posting - your videos are always interesting
Superb video my man. So informative. Keep these coming, please. Love these videos.
Arguably the best channel in class. Loved the video.
Seems you haven’t watched Melodysheep’s videos
Wow. Incredible. Course with that ambiance, you make anything super interesting to listen to.
That was a really really amazing video I totally enjoyed it very much the size of these stars is truly amazing & can't wait 2 C your nxt video
Great visuals and a very good video.
Keep it coming.
The universe is so fascinating. I appreciate your videos so much.
I remember when I was 6 years old (in 2011) I was in awe of VY Canis Mayoris. Now I see this, and it gives me the same feeling again.
Awesome vid as always! Keep up the good work bro!
Stunning video as usual. Keep up the great content! 👍
This is the content i love❤️
Someone once said: *"There's always a bigger fish."*
A wise man
Best space channel I have ever seen with good commentary
Nice video, straight forward, informative. Well done
The universe is just absurdly large 😂
Then don’t look at the other end of the scale because that has some 8-9 orders of magnitude more.
@@magicmulder I am curious as to what has "8-9 orders of magnitude" more than the whole Universe itself?
@@mahikannakiham2477 Compare 1 meter to the size of the universe, then to the Planck Length. There's 8-9 orders of magnitude (aka powers of ten) more in the latter scale.
@@magicmulder Oh ok sorry, I thought you meant there was something larger than the universe but you meant the opposite. My bad.
And I thought that it was a long way down to the nearest chemists'...
Wow. It’s hard to even imagine something that huge.
That’s what she said.
Great video! Informative and to the point.
great video, keep them coming
UY Scuti : I'm the biggest
Stephenson : Oh, for crying out loud😝
VY Canis Majoris: Hmmph now you know what it's bloody well like.
WELL FYI- VY CANIS MAJORIS is twice bigger than SCUTI. Scuti not just lost its position but downgraded to a much smaller star than we thought. Current positions
VY CANIS MAJORIS - 11
BETELGUSE - 67
UY SCUTI - 82
Another amazing video
I know so little about the stars en universe but i love exploring it with these kinds of videos. Its so mindblowing and amazing
Your videos are more interesting then my online classes during covid pandemic.
When he said "if you replace the Sun with this star..." I thought he was going to say something about how much of the sky would take. But then it engulfs the Earth. And Jupiter. And more.
Wow.
Your narration is so good. And the team behind the visual production are doing amazing job.
Thank you. But no team, it’s just me.
Wow...
The background music you used for this video was badass🔥🔥.
The size is one thing, but it's mass that determines a stars fate. Truly massive stars don't last long in comparison to less massive, slower burning stars.
What is the mass of this particular star?
Very interesting. Thanks!!
🇺🇸❤🇬🇧
It’s pretty gaseous. A hypergiant as dense as the sun would collapse under its own weight.
Our star is very young and is a very stable young yellow dwarf it will be nice for the next 6 billion years thank god
@@jordantidnam3190 "Our star is very young and is a very stable young yellow dwarf it will be nice for the next 6 billion years thank god"
Actually no. Within the next 200 to 400 million years solar irradiance will have grown by so much that life on Earth will become impossible, so it won't be nice for the next 6 billion years.
EDIT: I read up on the time spans involved, and "200 to 400 million years" is too soon apparently. Some sources say 1 billion years; others say 500 million years.
@Jeffrey Kelley "...or go instinct" LOL
@Key 1arda It's basically the output of the sun. As the sun ages, its solar output gradually increases, meaning Earth receives more energy from the sun. This is a process that has been ongoing for billions of years, and it will continue in the future.
The sheer scale of the universe means that it is most probable that there are stars out there that are 1000 times bigger than all of these monsters that we have managed to glimpse from afar, including Stephenson 2-18.
@Analyzing Male Slavery Got it. What is the limit? Do the current known giants come near to that?
Thank you for what are doing sir your work is a truly an amazing one!❤❤❤
Fantastic narrator, the best, awhat with amazing videos, love them all very much.
Every time i hear about those sizes i feel like an ant but my inner explorer wishes i could see these things up close and walk on every planet there is
King Stephenson [2-18] has a nice ring to it, in my mind .. for some reason ..
Love the groovy music and content as well
Always waiting for your video... Your presentation is your key to success... As a space enthusiast it's great to recieve good knowledge from you...
Nice Work
Thank you and welcome to the V101 Legends club 🌍V
truly magnificent!
hope we get to fly around the universe when we die

Great video, thanks.
I love this channel, on the point. No bullshit.
You still should do an hour long documentary! It will become the greatest on CZcams! These aren't long enough 😞 yet you never fail to amaze me! Good job
No, it's the short and much-to-the-point video that does it, not a hour long blabbering
Love the music.
Absolutely mind blowing 😳
Thanks for your time & patience stay safe mate.
As always Quality content
I'd be really curious what life would be like on planets like earth or super earths around the most massive star ( this one ) and the most dense/heavy star J0740+6620 or R136a1. I would watch a video on it.
Can i know what is the name of the music played In the background
I wanna it too!
there
Great video love the music ❤️
Really great! Love the real space photography!
Makes me wonder if planets did orbit around these stars how long would one year be? And how long with their seasons be also?
@Adam Battersby That would mean seasons would be 2500 years long… Damn!
And I can't stand summer at 3 months has it is!
It’s all relative. Larger doesn’t always mean more more mass. If they have a higher mass it’s likely they could cause the planets to orbit faster. This would also be necessary as a orbital speed that’s insufficient would cause the planets or any other orbiting body to fall to a lower and lower orbit until at which point it would likely fall into the star. If the size of the star is just expansion then the gravity is lower at the surface than it is near the center, this could also cause the planets to drift outwards at an ever increasing rate. Again, it’s all relative as no scenario is the same. Also, the seasons would depend on rotation and what the star’s solar activity.
That wouldn't be just any supernova. That would be a hypernova, if not more so.
Black holes
Awesome video.
Good informative video 👍🏻
It's amazing just how truly gigantic some Stars are compared to our Star. I love seeing the comparisons, making our Sun look like just a little dot.
The stellar beauty and mysterious Universe we live in never ceases to awe and amaze me!
This music though
Do you know the name of the track?
Awesome, straight to the point and great music. You earned a sub with notifications from me. Keep up the good work.
Thanks and welcome to the channel 👍🏻
Incredible explanation!
yes finally my dude where the hell were u all this time man i was damn bored
Stephenson 2-18: *exists*
Kardashev scale’s type 3 civilization: *its free real estate*
Lol
Actually it would not be good for them. This szár would probably not live an extra million years.
And also it would require like 10000 Earths to make the energy collectors.
They might as well go for Orange and Red dwarfs since some of them live for more than a trillion years.
But good joke anyway.
