NASA has discovered a colossal star so massive and luminous that it makes our Sun look like a mere grain of sand in comparison! Known as Stephenson 2-18, this hypergiant star is one of the largest ever observed, with a radius more than 2,000 times greater than that of the Sun. If placed in our solar system, it would swallow planets as far away as Saturn! This discovery challenges what we thought we knew about the limits of star formation and the incredible extremes of the universe. Join us as we explore the mind-boggling scale of this cosmic giant, its fascinating life cycle, and what it tells us about the mysteries of stars. Could there be even bigger stars out there waiting to be found?
