The Finale ! Behold Uy Scuti ! The Behemoth of the Universe !
At last we have arrived to our final destination in approximately 2 minutes and 33 seconds . That was one long ride hey , Uy scuti is pretty far from Canis Majoris . Now people we must put on upgraded suits because this star is so powerful that even our protective suits will not do , so we must put on 45G56 Ap Suits of Protection . Everybody ready ? good . So as you can all see this star is THE most massive star known to man , no other star is even close in comparison . It is truly a sight to behold . If you were to replace the sun with UY Scuti , it would absorb everything in the solar-system all the way to Saturn ! It also has a volume that is 5000 times the sun. UY Scuti was discovered in 1860 by German astronomers and its discovery name was originally " BD-12 0 55 ". Along with its insane luminosity Uy scuti is also burning up just as fast . Stars with this amount of mass burn up in 15-20 million years where as smaller stars live up to billions of years like our sun . UY Scuti has burned up most of the hydrogen and now helium is being used as a last resort . In the picture below you can see the dust around around it . This is most of the mass that's been " shed " off by the star . The Hyper-nova of UY Scuti will eject 10^43 joules of energy flying through the universe at the speed of light . These bursts of energy are called " Gamma rays " Our sun emits Gamma Rays but not as frequently as other massive stars. Well that's all to it ! Hope you enjoyed the tour of a lifetime ! Back to Earth ! .
