What is the largest star in the universe? The answer will completely
shatter your sense of scale. We're counting down the 5 most colossal
stars ever discovered — from the ancient red giants visible to the
naked eye, to a star so absurdly large it would swallow Saturn's
entire orbit. Every single one of them makes our Sun look like a
grain of sand. And the one sitting at the top of the list?
Astronomers nearly missed it entirely.

This video covers stellar evolution, nuclear fusion, hydrostatic
equilibrium, and the science behind how ordinary stars transform
into the largest objects in the known universe — finishing with
the reigning champion: Stephenson 2-18, clocking in at 2,149
solar radii.

Whether you're here for the mind-bending scale, the astrophysics,
or just to have your brain completely broken — welcome.
You're in the right place.
