andrewducker | The sun is big. Really big.

Aside from the scale (I didn't realize there were stars that huge), I also didn't know there were magenta stars.

I was intrigued by the way that Mu Cephei looked - so looked it up, and discovered it has a massive cloud of dust and water around it.

I was surprised by V838 Monocerotis, which may or may not actually be magenta, but is definitely weird.
