Old line from "Crocodile Dundee" expresses the sizes of stars well. We might htink the Sun is a big star, certainly compared to the Earth. But how big is it compared to other known stars?

Really gotta go to link to appreciate the sizes. Full-size image is 1200x8100 so no point trying to put it here.

If you view full-size, the Sun and VY Canis (biggest known star) is impressive and the point of this thread. If you look between the 'r S' in 'Our Sun' you can just make out the single pixel of our Sun next to the biggest star found so far.
