Those are pretty big, considering some of the red giants are thousands of times as big as the sun. I could also list galaxies, but those are made up of separate individual objects.

Front porch view in Seattle. And on a rare clear day, too.

Runner up: First Boeing Jumbo jet flying over VERY low overhead as it crossed the road and landed at the Paine Field facility where it had been built.
Overhead meaning my lil car vibrated like crazy.

We all got used to seeing them buzz around, after awhile.
