To put it in perspective, if Canis Majoris replaced the sun, it's surface would reach to the orbit of Saturn. Also, we'd all die horribly.

It be over so quickly you wouldn't realise. Sounds a neat way to go. Being burnt alive in a bread oven, you was sent in to clean is horrible

Sounds like an evil grandma kinda problem
