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.

Examples of supergiant stars include Betelgeuse, Antares, and Mu Cephei.

Is the the sun the biggest?

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.


Which star is bigger VV Cephei A or VY Canis Majoris?

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
