Scientists say that VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star we know so basically VY Canis Majoris is bigger than Kolob.
As far as mass goes, R136a1 beats out VY Canis Majoris by 253 solar masses (265 solar masses for R136a1 vs Canis Majoris' 30). However, VY Canis Majoris beats out R136a1 in radius by about 1,385 solar radii (Canis Majoris is 1,420 solar radii vs R136a1's ~35).
VY Canis Majoris has an absolute magnitude of -9.4.
Yes. It is way bigger. The VY Canis Majoris is known to be 1,000,000,000 times the size of the Sun. It's so big that on a scale between the 2 the VY Canis Majoris would almost be a complete rectangle compared to the Sun (and the Sun is as small as a few pixels). The star would reach the top of the screen. Winner: VY Canis Majoris
R136a1 is the brightest known star. VY Canis Majoris. Its bolometric luminosity is estimated at 8.7 million times that of our Sun. VY Canis Majoris has a bolometric luminosity estimated at 450,000 that of the Sun, which is still very powerful. Bolometric luminosity refers to the entire radiation emitted at all wavelengths (not only visible light), so it is a measure of the power emitted by the star.
VY Canis Majoris has an absolute magnitude of -9.4.
VY Canis Majoris is kinda beside Wezen(Delta Canis Majoris.) Find where it says VY
As of today (2009) there is no star larger than VY Canis Majoris - a galaxy is larger than VY Canis Majoris though.
VY Canis Majoris is about 4,900 light years from earth.

VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa)
VY Canis Majoris is probably bigger. VV Cephei A is between 800 and 950 times the diameter of our sun. VY Canis Majoris is 900 to 1050 times the diameter of our sun. As you can see, there is some overlap in the numbers, so it is possible VV Cephei A is actually the larger star, though more likely VY Canis Majoris is the biggest.Also if u see a video of biggest star it is shown that VV cephei A is actually smaller than Vy canis majoris
