I know that still showing sizes of stuff in space has been posted several times before, but seeing this in video gives a somewhat better sense of scale, with the zooming out and the grid below.

Knew it had to be Canis Majoris. Fucking thing is disgustingly huge. We should lasso that sumbitch over here for some extra heat.

Mostly a meaningless statement considering the size of the Sun is already outside the realm of human comprehension.
One way to think of it could be this:
A million seconds is about 11 days.
A billion seconds is almost 32 years.
So if the Sun was 1 second, Canis Majoris is 32 years.
*shrug*
Still doesn't mean much.

Now I thought a billion was a different number, depending on where on this small planet you were from
Seems I was correct at some place in time.
How many is a billion?
In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000), while in American English it has always equated to a thousand million (i.e. 1,000,000,000). British English has now adopted the American figure, though, so that a billion equals a thousand million in both varieties of English.
The same sort of change has taken place with the meaning of trillion. In British English, a trillion used to mean a million million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000). Nowadays, it's generally held to be equivalent to a million million (1,000,000,000,000), as it is in American English.
