Size comparison: Betelgeuse vs UY Scuti

Size comparison between two red super giants, Betelgeuse and UY Scuti.

UY Scuti is a star in the constellation Scutum. It is the largest known star in terms of radius. UY Scuti is in fact 1,708 times larger than the sun. Its distance from the earth is 9,500 light years. Its photosphere could encompass the orbit of Jupiter. UY Scuti has started consuming its helium and continues to fuse its hydrogen. Its location deep in the Milky Way suggests that the red super giant is rich in metal.
