Due to the astronomical difficulties in directly measuring the size of a distant star, the identity of the largest star is a matter for debate amongst astronomers. For stars with well-characterized measurements, the current most likely candidate is WOH G64, which has a radius 1400 times that of the sun, or 1,071,070,000 kilometers. This means if WOH G64 were placed in our own solar system, its size would engulf the orbit of Jupiter.

WOH G64 is located approximately 160,000 light years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a satellite galaxy to our own Milky Way. It is also surrounded by a torus-shaped cloud of material 3-9 times the mass of the sun, stripped from WOH G64 by strong stellar winds.
