The distance to Mu Cephei is not well known, but the latest estimates place it at about 573 parsecs which equates to about 1,900 light years from us.
There is a large element error in these observations.
mu cephei is a red super giant star also known As Herschel's garnet star in the cepheus constellation . It's bigger than betelgeuse and smaller than vy cephei having approximately 1650 times Larger than our sun's solar radius . ( one solar radius is equal to the 6.955 into 10 raise to power 8 meter )
Examples of supergiant stars include Betelgeuse, Antares, and Mu Cephei. These stars are among the largest and most massive in the universe, with sizes hundreds to thousands of times larger than our Sun. They are typically near the end of their life cycle and can exhibit intense brightness and variability.
VV Cephei is a binary star system located approximately 4,900 light-years away from Earth.
VV Cephei is 1900 times the size of the sun.VV Cephei is 2,644,762,000 (Trillion) KM in diameter.or2,644,762,000,000 (quadrillion) metersyeah. big
Actully, there are more than just four stars bigger than the sun. 5% of the stars are bigger than the sun. The sun just looks so big because it's closer to Earth. :~)
Here are a few:T Cephei, VV Cephei, VY Canis Majoris, NML Cygni, WOH G64, and V059 Cassiopae. ... Mu Cephei, Mu Cephei A, ... There are certainly an extremely high number of stars that are bigger than Betelgeuse in the known universe alone.
Like EVERY naked-eye star AND virtually every star that can be resolved with anything short of world class optics, mu Cephei is a member of our Milky Way galaxy.
The Sun is the largest object in our solar system, but in comparison to other stars, no - our Sun is a relatively small star. There are countless stars that are far larger. Look into Betelgeuse, Mu Cephei, VV Cephei A, and VY Canis Majoris - to name a few.
Mu Cephei, for all you uneducated people, is the 3rd largest star in the the universe, or that we know of. It is nearing death right now as you read this. it probably has only a few more 1000 years to live. Mu Cephei is a super giant star, so it is to big to explode into a supernova. It will probably explode into a hypernova, which is bigger than a supernova, or possibly into a meganova, which is bigger than a hypernova.

Mu Cephei, also known as Herschel's Garnet Star, is a red supergiant star. It is one of the largest stars known at around 1650 times the radius of our own sun, around 1.1 billion km. If placed in our solar system, its surface would extend out past Jupiter's orbit and almost to Saturn's orbit. Its around 1900 light years away, while it is also coming to the end of its life. there is a good chance that it has actually gone through a supernova explosion by now.
Gamma Cephei Ab was created in 1988.
