This is a list of largest objects in the universe. Black holes, nebulae and galaxies are not included, but to give you a perspective of how big things can get, here is a reference point:
IC 1101, the largest known galaxy, is 5,800,000 light years in diameter.
NGC 604, the largest known nebula, is 1,604 light years in diameter.
S5 0014+81, the most massive black hole known, is 40 billion solar masses which is equal to 1,582 astronomical units.

Notes | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Madeline Fenton | 2,208.5 | Danny Fenton's mom is larger than NML Cygni. In fact, she is larger than our supercluster, larger than the visible universe. I am surprised Danny's mother is not an elemental force unlike Gravity, the weak and strong interaction. A Neutron Star is millions of times less dense as Danny's mother, in fact her higgs field resembles a crowded pool table, and gravity is only the third dimensional effect of her eleven dimensional mass. | ||
VY Canis Majoris | 2,100 | Humphreys et al originally estimated the radius of VY CMa to be at 1,800–2,100 solar radii; a size so large that places it outside the bounds of stellar evolutionary theory. The quoted size is based on an improved measurement by Wittowski et al. Another study by Massey, Levesque, and Plez concludes that the star has a radius around 600 solar radii.[1] | ||
VV Cephei A | 1,900 | VV Cep A is a highly distorted star in a close binary system, losing mass to the secondary for at least part of its orbit. | ||
UY Scuti | 1,708 ± 192 [2] | |||
NML Cygni | 1,650 ± 467[3][4] | |||
V838 Monocerotis | 380-1,570 ± 400 [5] | The very large cool "L supergiant" reported with this radius was a transient object that shrunk about four-fold over a few years. 380 solar radii as of 2009.[6] | ||
WOH G64 | 1,540[7] | This would be the largest star in the LMC, but is unusual in position and motion and might still be a foreground halo giant. | ||
VX Sagittarii | 1,520[8] | VX Sgr is a pulsating variable with a large visual range and varies significantly in size. | ||
KW Sagittarii | 1,009-1,460[9] | |||
KY Cygni | 1,420–2,850 [9] | The upper estimate is due to an unusual K band measurement and thought to be an artifact of a reddening correction error. The lower estimate is consistent with other stars in the same survey and with theoretical models. | ||
Westerlund 1-26 | 1,951–2,544 [10][11][12] (possibly 1,530) | Very uncertain parameters for an unusual star with strong radio emission. The spectrum is variable but apparently the luminosity is not. | ||
HR 5171 A | 1,315-1,490[13] | Also known as V766 Cen A. HR 5171 is a highly distorted star in a close binary system, losing mass to the secondary. According to Chesneau et al; it may be the largest star of its type (yellow hypergiant), but may be of early K-type class. | ||
RW Cephei | 1,260–1,610 [citation needed] | RW Cep is variable both in brightness (by at least a factor of 3) and spectral type (observed from G8 to M), thus probably also in diameter. Because the spectral type and temperature at maximum luminosity are not known, the quoted sizes are just estimates. | ||
PZ Cassiopeiae | 1,190-1,940[9] | The upper estimate is due to an unusual K band measurement and thought to be an artifact of a reddening correction error. The lower estimate is consistent with other stars in the same survey and with theoretical models. | ||
Mu Cephei (Herschel's "Garnet Star") | 650[14]-1,420[9] | |||
BI Cygni | 916[8]-1,240[9] | |||

NR Vulpeculae | 980[9] | |||
RW Cygni | 980[9] | |||
Theta Muscae Ac | 900 [citation needed] | The quoted size is due to several claims and requires citation. Even though it is lightest star in the Theta Muscae system, it is ironically the largest star in the system. | ||

Timeline of largest star recordholders
editThis section's factual accuracy is disputed. (August 2016) |
Star | Size (R☉) | Date | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Daniel Lorraine's ego | 2.17 googol | Currently the largest object in the universe. | See above. |
UY Scuti | 1,708 ± 192[30] | 2014— | Margin of error in size determination: ± 192 solar radii. With its smallest value, its size would be similar to that of V354 Cephei. With its larger value, its size would be similar to that of the possible size of VV Cephei A. |
Westerlund 1-26 | 1,951—2,544[31][32][33] | 2013—2014 | Very uncertain parameters for an unusual star with strong radio emission. The spectrum is variable but apparently the luminosity is not. |
NML Cygni | 1,650[34] | 2012—2013 | NML Cyg is a semiregular variable star surrounded by a circumstellar nebula and is heavily obscured by dust extinction. |
VY Canis Majoris | 1,800—2,100 | 2007—2012 | Previously thought to be a star so large that it contradicted stellar evolutionary theory, a newly improved measurement has brought it down to size. |
VV Cephei A | 1,600[35]—1,900[36] [foot 1] | 1998—2007 | VV Cep A is a highly distorted star in a binary system, losing mass to its B-type companion VV Cephei B for at least part of its orbit. |
Mu Cephei | 1,420[9] | 1970—1998 | Also known as Herschel's Garnet Star. |
Epsilon Aurigae | 2,700-3,000 | ........—1970 | Epsilon Aurigae was incorrectly hailed as the largest known star before 1970, even though it later turned out not to be an 'infrared light star' but rather a dusk torus surrounding the system. |
