A Spanish woman has claimed ownership of the Sun.

Angeles Duran was inspired when she heard about an American man who had claimed ownership over the moon and many of the planets in the solar system. Her justification is that, while no country is allowed to claim any planet or star, there's no such rule against an individual doing so. 

She's already filed the necessary paperwork to claim ownership of the sun. Next, she's going to try to implement a fee for people who want to use the sun. But don't worry, she says most of the money will go to charity.

Our sun is so big that 1 million earths could fit inside of it. On the other hand, the largest star known to man is called VY Canis Majoris which could house 9,261,000,000 Suns

If VY Canis Majoris were put in our sun's place it would extend past Saturn. VY Canis Majoris can also fit 7×10^15 Earths inside of it (that's 7 with 15 zeros after it.)
