RAM stands for random-access memory, which makes it possible to find specific information very quickly. It is a form of fast-access, volatile storage that is used as the main memory in computer systems. The most widely used form of RAM for the main memory is dynamic RAM (DRAM).

Each big object in space is part of a much larger structure - the large-scale structure of the visible universe. We only see a minuscule piece of the universe. Big is bigger than we can ever imagine. VY Canis Majoris is the biggest type of star known as a red hyper giant. It is 4,892 light years from Earth and has a circumference of 5.46billion miles - around 2,000 times that of our sun. It would take a passenger jet 1,100 years to fly round it once.
