inky: VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star in the universe. Its size is between 1,800 and 2,100 solar radii (where 1 solar radius is equal to the current radius of the Sun, or roughly 110 times the radius of Earth). Click the image to see just how huge this is. If the Sun was replaced by VY Canis Majoris, Earth, and all the planets out as far as Jupiter, and maybe even Saturn, would be inside the star.
