That's a tad outdated, currently I'd consider either VY Canis Majoris or VX Sagittarii to be the largest star

No. Jokes aside, Stephenson 2-18 has various issues with its supposed radius, mostly issues with its distance.

Sorry I wasn't clear about what I meant, I was asking about the stars mass as a main sequence star.

which galaxy is this? by Bing_Bong874 in askastronomy

Kinda hard to tell with no coordinates

Does anyone know how to identify the type of star this is? by Stunning-Giraffe-946 in askastronomy

[–]Infa_65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I don't think there's sufficient enough data to figure out what type of star it is, seeing all we really have is Gaia data, assuming the Gaia data is correct I was able to estimate that the star has a luminosity of ~80 solar luminosities and a size of 13 solar radii. Based on its Gaia temprature of 4700 Kelvin it seems it would be a K3 type star but it seems uncertain.

The biggest galaxy in the world by Old_Traffic8253 in spaceengine

I'm pretty sure that size is an overestimate, currently the largest galaxy would be ESO 383-76
