NML Cygni, is a Red Hypergiant star, currently the largest know, and one of the most luminous in the Galaxy.
NML Cygni or V1489 Cygni is a red hypergiant star and the largest star currently known, at about 1,650 times the Sun's radius
Neither of them! The VY Canis Majoris is indeed bigger, but it isn't the biggest star in the Universe. The XZ Majoris Ceiphei is almost as big as the smallest Nebula, and it would take 10,000 years to orbit it in a passenger airplane. It is the biggest star in the Universe. So indeed the XZ Majoris Ceiphei is bigger than either the VY Canis Majoris or the NML Cygni. Comments: Estimating the sizes of these big stars is not easy and there are different answers in different places. For example, Wikipedia now gives NML Cygni as bigger than VY Canis Majoris. Also, I must admit I've never heard of "XZ Majoris Ceiphei". I know of the binary star XZ Cephei, but that's not the biggest star.
Something is missing from your question. Cygni is not a star. The constellation name is Cygnus. The star will have a name like Alpha Cygni or 25 Cygni.
Chi Cygni is a variable star, meaning its brightness varies cyclically. Chi Cygni's temperature is typically given as 3000 K.

NML Cygni, is a Red Hypergiant star, currently the largest know, and one of the most luminous in the Galaxy.
NML Cygni or V1489 Cygni is a red hypergiant star and the largest star currently known, at about 1,650 times the Sun's radius
The largest known star is NML Cygni, which is more than 1,600 times the diameter of the sun.
The largest star in the universe, and known to man, is NML Cygni. Other large stares include WOH G64, VX Sagittarii, KW Sagittarii, KY Cygni, and Westerlund 1-26.
No. The north star, Polaris is actually three stars, one of which qualifies as a giant, but it is by no means the largest. The largest known star is NML Cygni.
No. The sun is not the biggest star in the our galaxy. Some stars that we see at night that are located far far away from other stars. One of the largest known stars, NML Cygni, is 1,650 times bigger than the sun (by radius). Our sun is tiny, compared to the bigger stars. the largest star is a billion times the sun, and by the way, nml cygni is not one of the largest known stars, it IS the largest known star

The question is based on nonsense. The star NML Cygni has a radius that is 1650 times the radius of our sun. Its volume would, therefore, be nearly 4.5 billion times that of the sun, somewhat more than 100 times!
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.
