The most obvious feature of the Big Bang cosmological model [3] [4] is its statement that the Cosmos began at some definite past time; in such a way that the expansion rate determines the age of the Universe. Hubble’s constant measures how fast is the process of the expansion, and it is involved in ...

Canis Majoris
... Canis Majoris is the largest star that has so far been discovered. When viewed from earth it’s very tiny, which means it has a very small apparent magnitude. Canis Majoris is so large that you could fit about seven quadrillion earths inside of it. To put this into perspective, if earth were the size ...
