Explanation

VY Canis Majoris is a red hypergiant star with one of the largest known radii, approximately 1,420 times that of the Sun. While recent discoveries like UY Scuti may be larger, VY Canis Majoris remains among the largest stars known. Aldebaran and Arcturus are much smaller giant stars, and Antares, while large, is smaller than VY Canis Majoris.
