Explanation

VY Canis Majoris is one of the largest known stars - a red hypergiant with radius around 1,420 times that of our Sun. The Pistol Star is a blue hypergiant but smaller than VY Canis Majoris. Our Sun is a yellow dwarf, and 'Pulsur' appears to be a typo for 'pulsar' (which are neutron star remnants, not size competitors).
