    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UY_Scuti

    UY Scuti was analyzed to be the largest and the most luminous of the three stars measured, at 1,708 ± 192 R ☉ (1.188 × 10 9 ± 134,000,000 km; 7.94 ± 0.89 AU) based on an angular diameter of 5.48 ± 0.10 mas and an assumed distance of 2.9 ± 0.317 kiloparsecs (kpc) (about 9,500 ± 1,030 light-years) which was originally derived in 1970 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_magnitude

    In the case of a planet or asteroid, the absolute magnitude H rather means the apparent magnitude it would have if it were 1 astronomical unit (150,000,000 km) from both the observer and the Sun, and fully illuminated at maximum opposition (a configuration that is only theoretically achievable, with the observer situated on the surface of the Sun).

  7. Scutum (constellation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutum_(constellation)

    Scutum is not a bright constellation, with the brightest star, Alpha Scuti, being a K-type giant star [6] at magnitude 3.85. However, some stars are notable in the constellation. Beta Scuti is the second brightest at magnitude 4.22, followed by Delta Scuti at magnitude 4.72. It is also known as 6 Aquilae. [7]

    VV Cephei A was higher than VY CMa because 1050-1900 is 1475 so NML Cygni would be larger than UY Scuti because 1642-2775 is 2208.5 (3,075,742,614 Km) and UY Scuti is 1708 (2,378,704,272 Km). (posted by V255 Canis Majoris) 1050 - 1900 is not 1475. These are independent calculations by different authors.

  9. Hypergiant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergiant

    A hypergiant (luminosity class 0 or Ia +) is a very rare type of star that has an extremely high luminosity, mass, size and mass loss because of its extreme stellar winds.The term hypergiant is defined as luminosity class 0 (zero) in the MKK system.
