Who is like Him?

Canis Majoris was once a yellow and now a red hypergiant star located in the constellation Canis Major. With a size of up to about 2,100 solar radii, it is the largest known star and also one of the most luminous known. It is located about 1.5 kiloparsecs (4.6×1016 km) or about 4,900 light years away from Earth... To illustrate, if Earth's Sun were replaced by VY Canis Majoris, its diameter might extend to the orbit of Saturn.

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
and by the breath of his mouth all their host. -Psalm 33:6
