watch the vid, theres a star like a fourth way into the video that would hold our solar system. and the one after it would make it look like a microbe

Our Galaxy is over 350 million times the size of Canis Majoris.😮💨
One major indication for me that vy canis majoris might be smaller than the galaxy was that it is part of it. What's your take on that? hmm
