Are you kidding me? The Pistol Star is a blue hypergiant, that's over 305 times the diameter of the Sun! The Pistol Star's mass, temperature, and power are all much greater than that of the Sun. And let's not forget the Stellar Flares that can release 2.43 × (10)^33 Joules of energy. Even the immense heat and pressure within the Star make it extremely difficult for outside energy to penetrate its upper atmosphere. The Sun is no match for The Pistol Star.
