There is a hypergiant star, UY Scuti, that if placed at the center of our solar system, would engulf Jupiters orbit and spread half the remaining distance to Saturn. At over 2 billion km across, it would take an airliner (e.g. A380 or Boeing 747) cruising at 850 km/h without stopping a full millennium to orbit its surface just once. Feeling small yet? Suddenly the trip to the grocery store doesnt seem so long... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/Star-sizes.jpg
