The following list include the largest stars by their apparent size (angular diameter) as seen from Earth. The unit of measurement is the milliarcsecond (mas), equivalent to 10 × 10−3 arcseconds. Stars with angular diameters larger than 13 milliarcseconds are included.

2023年5月8日 · NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals the supercluster Westerlund 1, home of one of the largest known stars. Westerlund 1-26, a red supergiant, has a radius more than 1,500 times that of the...

Stars throughout our cosmos are undeniably gargantuan. In fact, the closest star to us, the Sun is a staggering 1.4 million km (865,000 miles) in diameter – so large that 1.3 million planet Earths …

Since massive stars are rare, astronomers must look very far from Earth to find them. All the listed stars are many thousands of light years away, which makes measurements difficult.

Astrophysicist Robert F. Wing did an in-depth look on the largest stars, recognising Antares, Betelgeuse, Mu Cephei, and VV Cephei A as well-accepted largest stars, while also looking at other stars known for cool temperatures and high brightness like …

2024年2月14日 · In the vast night sky, where countless stars vie for attention, one colossus reigns supreme as the largest star in the universe. Situated thousands of light-years from Earth, this celestial giant's sheer magnitude challenges our understanding of stellar physics.

In Space is the fourth and final studio album by American rock group Big Star, released in 2005. It was the first new Big Star studio album since Third/Sister Lovers, recorded in 1974 and released in 1978.

2020年1月10日 · Most of the 10 largest stars lie within the Milky Way but astronomers have found some of the gargantuan celestial bodies in other galaxies, as well.

Distance from Earth: 3,900 light-years 1. UY Scuti Size: around 1,700 x Sun, according to the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics (That's 1.1883 billion kilometres). However, other estimates …

WOH G64 is the largest star known in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), one of the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way. The currently accepted radius of 1,540 solar radii is on the lower end of size estimates for the star. The red supergiant was once believed to have a radius between 2,575 and 3,000 solar radii.
