It's much too far away. One of earths space shuttles would take many millions of years to reach it. If we could reach light speed, it would still take 5000 years. If you mean how close before we would fry, that's a difficult one. Bearing in mind that our own sun can burn us from 93 million miles, and V Y Canis Majoris is 7 billion times the size of our own sun, it would be massive distance but I can't give you a figure.
VY Canis Majoris is kinda beside Wezen(Delta Canis Majoris.) Find where it says VY
VY Canis Majoris is about 4,900 light years from earth.
9,261,000,000 (9.2) Billion sun can fit in VY Canis Majoris.
VY Canis Majoris
VY Canis Majoris is probably bigger. VV Cephei A is between 800 and 950 times the diameter of our sun. VY Canis Majoris is 900 to 1050 times the diameter of our sun. As you can see, there is some overlap in the numbers, so it is possible VV Cephei A is actually the larger star, though more likely VY Canis Majoris is the biggest.Also if u see a video of biggest star it is shown that VV cephei A is actually smaller than Vy canis majoris
VY Canis Majoris is kinda beside Wezen(Delta Canis Majoris.) Find where it says VY
VY Canis Majoris has an absolute magnitude of -9.4.
you can take a spaceship
VY Canis Majoris has an absolute magnitude of -9.4.
As of today (2009) there is no star larger than VY Canis Majoris - a galaxy is larger than VY Canis Majoris though.
VY Canis Majoris is about 4,900 light years from earth.
Scientists say that VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star we know so basically VY Canis Majoris is bigger than Kolob.
VY Canis Majoris (Not Canis Majoris)
9,261,000,000 (9.2) Billion sun can fit in VY Canis Majoris.
Canis Major
As far as mass goes, R136a1 beats out VY Canis Majoris by 253 solar masses (265 solar masses for R136a1 vs Canis Majoris' 30). However, VY Canis Majoris beats out R136a1 in radius by about 1,385 solar radii (Canis Majoris is 1,420 solar radii vs R136a1's ~35).
