Описание

UY Scuti - The Largest Star in the Universe. UY Scuti is a hypergiant star, currently known as the largest star in the Universe. Discovered in 1860, UY Scuti was originally known as BD -12 5055. R136a1 is a Wolf-Rayet star, known as the star with the largest mass. It's located about 160,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy that orbits the Milky Way. UY Scuti holds the prestigious title of the largest known star, a red supergiant star that dwarfs even the most luminous stars in our night sky. As a hypergiant star, UY Scuti's immense size is almost incomprehensible, with a radius about 1,700 times larger than that of our Sun.
