Stars can get pretty huge. The largest we know of might be a red hypergiant in Canis Major, known as VY Canis Majoris, whose diameter is over 1,300 times that of the Sun, and possibly larger. A recent discovery of another red hypergiant V1489 Cygni has an estimated radius of 1650 times that of the Sun. That's bigger than Jupiter's orbit!
