It's pretty hard to imagine just how "big" something like this is, and there really is no astronomical unit to comprehend something like this because its hard to know for sure, but in earth terms at a rough estimate the biggest pillar is estimated to be about 24 trillion miles high/tall, which is about 4 light years.
