Current record holders AFAIK are VY Canis Majoris at between 1800-2100 times solar diameter, and VV Cephei at 1600 to 1900 solar diameters. These dwarf Betegulese which is about 650 solar diameters.

i'm uncertain of the predicted age of our galaxy, in spite of the undeniable fact that it incredibly is proposed there's a great black hollow on the middle of the milky way galaxy. it incredibly is no longer ordinary to fathom the great length of our galaxy....case in point in our photograph voltaic equipment on my own, the area between Saturn and Jupiter is extra or less a similar distance as Jupiter from the sunlight. With that mentioned, there is various area between gadgets like our sunlight and different stars wherein collisions are uncommon.

The newly crowned largest stars, already known to astronomers as KW Sagitarri, V354 Cephei and KY Cygni, are all in our Milky Way galaxy and within thousands of light-years of the Sun.

Eta Carinae,
At 100-150 solar masses, and four MILLION times the sun's luminosity!!!!
This star can barely keep itself together and will explode as a hypernova.
