The largest known star is VY Canis Majoris; a red hypergiant star in the Canis Major constellation, located about 5,000 light-years from Earth. University of Minnesota professor Roberta Humphreys recently calculated its upper size at more than 1,540 times the size of the Sun.

This red hypergiant is among the largest known stars in our galaxy. It has an estimated radius between 1,800 and 2,100 times the radius of the Sun. At this size it would reach nearly to the orbit of Saturn if placed in our solar system. VY Canis Majoris is located roughly 3,900 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Canis Majoris. It's one of a number of variable stars that appear in the constellation Canis Major.
