    UY Scuti: 909 [23] L/T eff: Initially reported 1,708 R ☉, making it the largest star, a 2023 measurement put the radius at a smaller value of 909 R ☉ based on the multimessenger monitoring of supernovae. [23] NR Vulpeculae: 908 [23] – 923 +62 −50 [25] L/T eff: KU Andromedae (IRC +40004) 900 [55] – 1,044 [54] L/T eff: V774 Sagittarii ...

  3. UY Scuti - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UY_Scuti

    UY Scuti is located a few degrees north of the A-type star Gamma Scuti and northeast of the Eagle Nebula. Although the star is very luminous, it is, at its brightest, only 9th magnitude as viewed from Earth, due to its distance and location in the Zone of Avoidance within the Cygnus rift .

    Within 1.3 million years it will come as close to 10 light years from Earth, [10] and will be much brighter than Sirius by that time. UY Scuti is a red supergiant and is also one of the largest stars currently known with a radius over 900 times that of the Sun. [11] RSGC1-F01 is another red supergiant whose radius is over 1,450 times that of ...

  5. Hypergiant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergiant

    Another theory associated with hypergiant stars is the potential to form a pseudo-photosphere, that is a spherical optically dense surface that is actually formed by the stellar wind rather than being the true surface of the star. Such a pseudo-photosphere would be significantly cooler than the deeper surface below the outward-moving dense wind.

    Stephenson 2 DFK 1, also known as RSGC2-01 [a] or St2-18, is a red supergiant (RSG) or possible extreme red hypergiant [2] (RHG) star in the constellation of Scutum.It lies near the open cluster Stephenson 2, which is located about 5.8 kiloparsecs (19,000 light-years) away from Earth in the Scutum–Centaurus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, and is assumed to be one of a group of stars at a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOH_G64

    WOH G64 (IRAS 04553-6825) is an unusual [7] [3] yellow hypergiant star in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) satellite galaxy in the southern constellation of Dorado.. WOH G64 is surrounded by an optically thick dust envelope of roughly a light year in diameter, containing 3 to 9 times the Sun's mass of expelled material that was created by the strong stellar wind.

  8. Astronomers surprised to find planet 'too massive for its star'

    www.aol.com/news/astronomers-surprised-planet...

    Our Milky Way galaxy's most common type of star is called a red dwarf - much smaller and less luminous than our sun. But the discovery of a planet at least 13 times Earth's mass orbiting very ...

    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.
