They can range from black holes that light doesn&#8217;t even escape to the literal size of the universe and everything in between. But not every object has received the attention needed to develop a complete model of it, but we can officially add another highly complex model to our lists. Astronomers at the University of Arizona have developed a model of VY Canis Majoris, a red hypergiant that is quite possibly the largest star in the Milky Way. And they&#8217;re going to use that model to predict how it will die.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-06-vy-canis-majoris-dying-astronomers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">VY Canis Majoris is dying, and astronomers are watching<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three-dimensional models of astronomical objects can be ridiculously complex.
