I know all these numbers are not enough to truly understand vastness of the universe.
How about this :
The biggest star in universe is so big that to go around in one complete circle while flying in a Commercial plane (that we use today) It would have taken 1100 years which is just 2 days for on round trip on earth.
Still don't believe me ?
How about seeing it your self . Everything to the exact scale .
This is a simulation of things and their sizes .Everything to scale
Do you know .. Whats most mind boggling fact is ?
Universe is expanding thus making us more insignificant ( in size) with respect to bigger bodies like Galaxies.
Researchers at university of Hawaii studied this expansion tried to create the model of it. Video is self explanatory .
