VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star in the universe, with a diameter 1,400 times greater than our Sun, so massive that if placed in our solar system, it would extend to Saturn's orbit; this dying star is expected to produce the galaxy's brightest supernova explosion when it eventually collapses.

THE DIVA STAR — VY Canis MajorisAdded:
Out in the void hides VY Canis Majoris, a star so absurdly massive it's 1,400 times wider than our puny sun. Pop it in our solar system, it'd reach Saturn's orbit and still complain [music] there's not enough elbow room. But, here's the kicker, this bloated cosmic diva is dying. When she finally goes supernova, it won't be quiet. It'll be the galaxy's most [music] extra, brightest meltdown in history. Sweet dreams, earthlings.
The universe's [music] biggest drama queen is about to throw a fit.
