Since it would take 108 side by side Earth's to fit across the diameter of the Sun, that comparison with VY Canis Majoris is a true mind-blower.

Mind blowing!

Considering the universe, and its Maker knowing the number of hairs on our heads,

"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!"

Psalm 139:17

If that does not humble a man, nothing would.
