Not always. Keep in mind that VY Canis majoris has a much larger schwarzschild radius than most stars, and black holes are not invisible. Sure we can't directly see them, but we can see the great black ball of where they are, not to mention a rapidly spinning accretion disk they create. Even if the the black hole itself wasn't visible from earth, the disk would be, and that's still pretty cool to look at.

a simple technique called spectroscopy, where we can read the spectrum of a star reveals something called absorption lines, these lines tell us what elements are common in any star that can be observed either by the naked eye, or by telescope, recent advances in this technique have allowed us, where we know planets exist around other stars, to separate out the spectrum of the planet from that of the parent star to assess the atmosphere of the orbiting planet.

How do we know that it has not already exploded, given that it is 4600 light years away (and what we are observing today is how it used to be 4600 years ago)? Isn't it possible it already had the hypernova nearly 4600 years ago and therefore the gamma rays can hit the earth any moment? By the same vein, if a hypernova explosion happens in our galactic neighborhood, wouldn't it be that we can get almost no advance warning (other than that a star is ready to explode) before the stream of gamma rays suddenly hits the planet and wipes out all life?

AKA the The Alcubierre Drive. It takes advantage of a quirk in the cosmological code that allows for the expansion and contraction of space-time, and could allow for hyper-fast travel between interstellar destinations. Essentially, the empty space behind a starship would be made to expand rapidly, pushing the craft in a forward direction - passengers would perceive it as movement despite the complete lack of acceleration. For further information I suggest looking it up yourself.

Mass and volume are different matters. This means that VY Canis Majoris is much less dense than the sun. If they had equal density, then the mass and volume differences would be equal. The formula is mass = volume x density (you can use algebra to rearrange the variables as you see fit). I hope this clears up your confusion.

Whether a star goes nova or not , whether it leaves behind a black hole or neutron star depends on it's mass and metallicity(how much of the star is made up of heavier elements). For instance a star the size of CM could leave behind a neutron star if it's metallicity was very high. Current tables/models show Canis Majoris will leave behind a black hole after it's gravitational collapse.

The reason for VY Canis Majoris's instability has to do with the complexity and rapidity of it's internal convection.Unlike red dwarves,which have the most simple and relatively slowest convection processes.And therefore the longest lifespans.Hypermassive stars like VY Canis Majoris have complex multiple layers of convection all ongoing simultaneously.And have cores that enter the helium burning phase most stars undergo at the end of their lifespan far earlier owing to their incredible mass and internal heat and pressure driving the conversion of hydrogen to helium phase.

Then he says "It could explode any minute", does he mean that it has already exploded and simply would appear to explode to us, or that it hasn't exploded yet and by the time the light reaches us, no one alive now would see it?

The problem is that the scientists have problems to define the surface of such stars. The density of this star is a thousand times less dense than the atmosphere on Earth. Because of the strong mass loss it is not sure if the outer layers of the star are still gravitationally bound to the star. So it´s very difficult to say it is exactly this large.

@stormseeker442 yes it is, dylanh88 was wrong. VY Canis Majoris is well within our galaxy.

i dont know why but i think neutrino's are they key to making black holes as the new discovery of them being faster than light.

This video takes the old size of Canis Majoris and what could happen... so with NML Cygni will not happen much other things, because the size of NML Cygni is smaller than the size of Canis Majoris was thought, when this video was made. And both stars are red supergiants or super-supergiants (hypergiants, hehe).

Not all hypergiant stars automatically turn into a black hole. Some may become white dwarfs, others may be a neutron star, others could be a black hole or quasar. I does depend on mass, yet there are exceptions to some stars.

i heard there is a black hole born about once a 1000 years in our galaxy, but that should mean that since the earth exists, 4,6 million black holes have born. that would mean there have been so many "VY Canis Majoris'" that there almost should have been a black hole near us or a black hole near a black hole. what would happen if 2 black holes collapse? would they create an explosion or a bigger black hole? or both?

There's NML Cygni, WOH G64, VX Sagittarii, KW Sagittarii, KY Cygni, and last and smallest of these stars but bigger than VY Canis Majoris is Westerlund 1-26

I'm pretty sure most of us understand the concept of light speed and distance. it's also an irrelevant because of the uncertainty. another way of saying what you said is: when we see it happen is exactly when we see it happen.

There's no need to cuss and hate on each other. Yes this is exciting and mind-blowing. I find astronomy to be spiritual and empowering opening us up to the fact that we are truly insignificant on the grand scale of the cosmos.

Thanks, nice vid. Never thought about nuclear level events going on due to the energy of the collapse and rebound, but it the velocities you gave are anywhere near correct, it's really not that surprising, I guess. Neat tidbit. Food for thought.

I'm pretty sure our orbit will be the same at that time as now since, I dunno if this true or not, our orbit is expanding slowly so I don't think the sun will ever reach us.

the approximate diameter of vy canis majoris in miles is 8,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 8 quintillion miles in diameter which is larger than how far away it is (28.7 billion miles) when earth is only about 8000 miles in diameter, its a cool star compared to our sun, not as bright though, its amazing how small we are yet its only a hypergiant in the billions that are out there

A comment on the comment section. Do not confuse the term "mass of star" with "size of star". Blue Hypergiants and WR stars are massive, yes; but some Red Hypergiants have *HUGE* diameters.

VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star known in the universe so far and has radius of 2.000 Suns so it would reach aprox. to the Saturns orbit. When it explodes, it creates supermassive black hole and would be visible on the night sky with the same brightness and size of a full Moon.

I have a question. Supernovas give birth to neutron stars and black holes correct? And the mass of the star determines whether or not the supernova results in a neutron star or a black hole correct? And VY Canis Majoris is in the top 3 largest known stars correct? If VY Canis Majoris is in fact NOT massive enough to spawn a black hole at its demise then what is? And have we ever seen the birth of a neutron star or black hole?

VY Canis Majoris is big but not really that massive. It has a very low density. UY Scuti is estimated at 1700 times bigger than the Sun by diameter but only 30 times heavier. There are stars out there 300x heavier than the Sun, but only 30 times bigger by diameter. Now that's an Ubernova I wanna see!

I used to not believe it, but based on actual data gathered from pictures of just supernova exploding in other galaxies, a hypernova in this galaxy the distance that this baby is would likely kill us. At the very least, it would mess up our ecosphere so badly, we would still die off.

The sun emits white light. The yellow (and red) colors are because of the Earth atmosphere. Especially when the sun is low, it filters colors away (starting with blue).

I would have thought hypernovae were reserved for ultramassive stars like Wolf-Rayets. VY has a large radius but it’s only 17 solar masses.

Ten years later and UV Canis Majoris is dethroned to number 24 on the list on wikipedia, and Stephenson 2-18 is judged largest.
