- a red hypergiant star
- located in the constellation Canis Major
- 1800 and 2100 solar radii (approx 2,505,600,000 to 2,923,200,000 km across or 1,556,534,837 to 1,816,267,995 miles)

It should be clarified what you mean with "big". Are you referring to the star's diameter, or to its mass? - The stars with the largest diameter are believed to be about 2000 times as large (in diameter) as our Sun. Note that our Sun's diameter is about 1.4 million kilometers, so we are talking about a diameter of 2-3 billion kilometers.
