Lyrics:
VY Canis Majoris
The red supergiant is the focus of this chorus
VY Canis Majoris
It shines so bright how could we possibly ignore it?
VY Canis Majoris is one of the largest known stars in the Milky Way galaxy!
4,000 light years away from Earth
In the constellation of Canis Major
There's a supergiant star shining very brightly
Because of its amazing luminosity
Nearly half a million times brighter than our sun
First discovered way back in 1801
By a French astronomer Jerome Lalande
You can see he was serious looking man
If VY Canis Majoris were in the center of our solar system,
It would take up all the space from Mercury to Saturn!
VY Canis Majoris
The red supergiant is the focus of this chorus
VY Canis Majoris
It shines so bright how could we possibly ignore it?
Why do they call it VY?
It's a variable star pulsating from dim to bright
Its high oxygen levels give it red light
So a Red Hypergiant is the way its classified
Compared to the Sun how big is VY?
Multiply the sun's size 1,500 times
VY makes the sun look super-small
Like comparing a BB to a basketball
There's no telling how long VY will last
It's already ejected over half its mass
Scientists predict it will explode one day
And turn into a black hole when it goes away
VY Canis Majoris
The red supergiant is the focus of this chorus
VY Canis Majoris
It shines so bright how could we possibly ignore it?
