Here's information about the biggest known star in the universe:
The current record holder for the largest known star in terms of radius is UY Scuti.
It is a red hypergiant located in the constellation Scutum.
UY Scuti's radius is estimated to be around 1,708 times the radius of the Sun. If it were placed at the center of our solar system, its surface would extend past the orbit of Jupiter. Some estimates vary, and it could be smaller than this.
Its luminosity is hundreds of thousands times greater than the Sun's.
However, it is important to note that while UY Scuti has the largest radius, it is not the most massive star. Other stars, like R136a1, are significantly more massive. The size and mass of a star are different properties. Size refers to the physical extent, while mass refers to the amount of matter it contains.
Stars like UY Scuti are in a late stage of their evolution and are losing mass at a very high rate. This makes determining their exact size and properties difficult. Its distance from Earth is approximately 9,500 light-years.
