The largest star known is a red hypergiant called VY Canis Majoris which is around 1800 to 2100 times the diameter of our own sun and would almost reach the orbit of Saturn if at the centre of our own solar system.
VV Cephei is a binary star system located approximately 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. The primary star is a red supergiant, while the secondary star is believed to be a blue dwarf. The size of the system is estimated to be around 1,900 times the size of the Sun.
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
VV Cephei is a binary star system located about 4,900 light-years from Earth. It consists of a red supergiant star and a smaller, less massive companion star. They orbit around a common center of mass due to their gravitational attraction to each other, rather than orbiting the Sun.
In terms of diameter 'VV Cephei A' probably holds this position.
The five largest known red supergiants in the Galaxy are VY Canis Majoris, VV Cephei A, V354 Cephei, RW Cephei and KW Sagittarii.
I believe it is currently: V354 Cephei.

VV Cephei is a star system, not a planet. It is a binary star system consisting of two massive stars, one of which is a red supergiant. The system is located in the constellation Cepheus.
Alpha Cephei (Alderamin) is a star in the constellation of Cepheus.It has an apparent magnitude of +2.45
gamma cephei (errai)
Alpha Cephei (Alderamin) is a second magnitude star in the constellation of Cepheus.It has a mass of about 1.74 solar masses.

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.
