The Largest Star in the Universe (Size Comparison)
How big can stars really get? This video is a journey across the universe to compare the sizes of stars — from our own Sun to unimaginable cosmic giants like Betelgeuse, Mu Cephei, and the colossal Stephenson 2-18. Through stunning visuals and simple explanations, you’ll see just how tiny our Solar System is in comparison to the true titans of the cosmos.
Duration: 10 minutes 56 seconds
Neutron Stars — The Most Extreme Things that are not Black Holes
When a massive star dies but doesn’t collapse into a black hole, it becomes something almost as strange — a neutron star. This video dives into the world of these ultra-dense cosmic remnants, where a teaspoon of matter weighs billions of tons, gravity warps space, and magnetic fields can tear atoms apart. Discover what makes neutron stars some of the most extreme and fascinating objects in the universe.
Duration: 7 minutes 42 seconds
The Black Hole That Kills Galaxies — Quasars
Quasars are the most powerful objects in the universe — blazing beacons powered by supermassive black holes devouring matter at the centers of galaxies. This video explores how quasars form, why they shine brighter than entire galaxies, and how their incredible energy can shape — or even destroy — the galaxies that created them.
Duration: 9 minutes 7 seconds
The Largest Black Hole in the Universe (Size Comparison)
What’s the biggest black hole in existence? This video takes you on a journey through the universe to compare black holes of all sizes — from stellar remnants just a few kilometers wide to the mind-bending supermassive monsters that can engulf entire solar systems. Discover how these cosmic giants form, how big they can grow, and what happens if you get too close to their event horizon.
