UY Scuti

UY Scuti is a red hypergiant nearly 9,500 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Scutum. The star is really big, nearly 1,708 times the diameter of the Sun and also one of the most luminous stars, 350.000 brighter than the Sun. It located in the same constellation with Stephenson 2-18, but UY Scuti is named after the constellation as it was studied and known as the largest star before Stephenson 2-18. UY Scuti is recently thought by some to be 755 - 775 the diameter of the Sun and 5,400 light years away from Earth, rather than 1,708 times the diameter of the Sun and 9,500 light years away,.
== Size ==
UY Scuti is larger than many stars in the universe, one of the largest ever found. It is 755 the diameter of the Sun. Inside UY Scuti, at least 430 million Suns are thought to fit. However, UY Scuti was the largest star known as of recently, as of August 2020, when it's crown was stolen by Stephenson 2-18, which the latter also was stolen by NML Cygni.
== Mass ==
UY Scuti's mass is estimated to be around 7 times the mass of the Sun, Likely Stephenson 2-18 lost mass before UY Scuti, as this star is probably older than Uy Scuti, meaning that UY Scuti is likely gonna lose more mass while expanding in size. Like Stephenson 2-18, UY Scuti currently fuses helium to carbon. It burns quickly through it's mass.
== Luminosity ==
UY Scuti is nearly 350.000 times the luminosity of the Sun. I 
UY Scuti's surface temperature is nearly 3,365 Kelvin, about 3091 °C.
