Stars are among the largest and brightest objects in the universe. Stars come in a variety of sizes, with some only a fraction the size of our sun, and others being hundreds of times larger than the sun. To date, the largest star ever discovered is a massive hypergiant star called UY Scuti, located around 5,219 light years away. UY Scuti is 1,700 times the size of the sun, and by volume, this hypergiant reveals itself to be a true behemoth.
