You'll get an even better idea as to how far that is when you figure out the time it would take to REACH that star in a Boeing 747.
Speaking of that, I maybe off by just a little, so bare with me. But the largest known star, VY Canis Majoris has a diameter so big, that if you were to fly around it in a 747, it would take 9,000 years to complete.
