There's always a bigger, uh, sun.
I was just thinking of such a similar comparison today with a similar way of comparing them! (Earth<<Sun<<SagittariusA)
Somewhere in late 2000s I saw one of the most mind-melting GIFs I've seen that compared the Solar System objects to the largest known stars at the time. This kinda reminded me of that.
ok so, this post reminds me, a while ago i archived all of the older Vsauce content, and i binged through the vast majority of it, and i can swear there was a video from him about the scale of the universe, or the scale of things in the universe, but i can't for the life of me find it.
Either it's hiding somewhere, or i'm making some shit up and it isn't real lol.
it's quite possibly somewhere in there. The blessing and the curse of Vsauce videos is that you never know what's going to be inside of it

Maybe it was by a different educational YouTuber. I'm thinking Veritasium.

I read it as "stepson" and thought it was a low res picture of pizza. I guess I am a bit sleep deprived.
