Yes. VY Canis Majoris is about 4 billion kilometers across. This is comparable to the diameter of the event horizon of a 1.3 billion solar mass black hole. Black holes much larger than this have been detected in the centers of distant galaxies.

Nothing can escape a black hole, so the answer is yes.

Yes, it will. It will take millions or even billions of years for it to happen, but because of its size, luminosity, and it's classification; it will become a black hole

Some scientists suggest there is a black hole in the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy.

What do use to measure a black hole?

It depends how big it is. First Scientist's compare it to the sun, VY Canis Majoris, or something they already have the dimensions to. Possibly by km. or miles.


Do you have to die if you fall into a black hole?

A black hole is more powerful than anything in the Universe except an XZ Majoris Ceiphei, so indeed you would have to die if you fell into a black hole for sure; except if you ARE an XZ Majoris Ceiphei.


Is there a black hole at the center of canis major?

Canis Major is a constellation, therefore there is no centre.


Is your galaxy bigger than a black hole?

A galaxy is bigger than a black hole.


What if a planet about the size of Jupiter or bigger got absorbed by a black hole?

The mass of the black hole would increase in proportion to the mass of the planet

Conclusion of the canis major?

When the canis majoris explodes, it will create a supernova of over 30000 degrees. A supernova is a huge explosion of fire. After the supernova, a black hole will form. Black holes form when a star explodes. But it cant just be a star. It has to be a star 10x greater then our sun. The canis majoris is way bigger then just 10x. So when it explodes it will create a black hole much bigger then normal size.


Is there a star with so much mass that when it blows up it will become a black hole?

There are plenty out there. VY Canis Majoris is a definite candidate.

If VY Canis Majoris was earth would it support 100 billion people or more?

No. VY Canis Majoris is a red "hypergiant" star. It would not support life at all. If the Sun were somehow replaced by VY Canis Majoris, the Earth would be instantly vaporized. You might be thinking "but what if it was a planet instead of a star," but the notion of a planet that large is ludicrous; anything that big would instantly collapse into a black hole without heat and radiation pressure from internal fusion to oppose its own gravity.

Is there anything that wouldn't implode in a black hole?

things dont implode in a black hole they are dragged in and the black hole gets bigger


Can a black hole get bigger?

yes, as long as there are things that can fall into it, it can get bigger.


Does Rigel have a bigger black hole than Sirius?

I don't think that either of these stars "have" a black hole.


Can canis magoris become a black hole?

Yes it is possible for Canis magoris to become a black hole, but at its current age it may either explode and turn into a dwarf star or implode and become a black hole. The process will take millions of year, but the possibility is there. But for a definite answer that is impossible at the current status of data. Their are just too many factors that could come into play.


What is bigger a quasar or a supermassive black hole?

The quasar is bigger. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter that surrounds a supermassive black hole. The mass of the black hole may be greater than that of the disk, but it is compacted into a smaller space.
