Did you know that........

The Sun is the nearest star to us. 







Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to us after the sun.

The Sun is growing: In 5 billion years it will be 250 times bigger and close enough to swallow up the Earth.

The largest known star Canis Majoris is so big that if our Sun is a ball 117 cm wide, Canis Majoris would be 2.25 km wide.

The Pistol Star is the most luminous star known - 10 million times the power of the Sun and as big as the Earth's entire orbit around the Sun.




The star Alpha Herculis is so big that 25 of our entire solar system would have to be placed end to end to equal the star's diameter
