8 Μαΐ 2023 · The biggest star in the universe (that we know of), UY Scuti is a variable hypergiant with a radius around 1,700 times larger than the radius of the sun.
10 Ιαν 2020 · Which are the Largest Stars in the Universe? The Top 10 Stars in the Sky by Diameter. By. John P. Millis, Ph.D. Updated on January 10, 2020. Stars are immense balls of burning plasma. Yet, aside from the Sun in our own solar system, they appear as tiny pinpoints of light in the sky.
UY Scuti is the largest star in the Universe observed so far. The red supergiant is 1,708 times wider than our Sun, with a radius of 1.2 billion km (738 million miles). The star can be found around 9,500 light-years away from Earth in the Scutum Constellation, around the centre of the Milky Way.
This is a list of the most massive stars that have been discovered, in solar mass units (M☉). Uncertainties and caveats. Most of the masses listed below are contested and, being the subject of current research, remain under review and subject to constant revision of their masses and other characteristics.
UY Scuti (BD-12°5055) is a red supergiant star, located 5,900 light-years away in the constellation Scutum. It is also a pulsating variable star, with a maximum brightness of magnitude 8.29 and a minimum of magnitude 10.56, which is too dim for naked-eye visibility.
