The New Largest Star in the Universe 2024! WOH G64
Рет қаралды 804,849
Күн бұрынFor many years UY Scuti was considered the largest known star in the universe. Then came along the behemoth that is Stephenson 2-18. But it turns out that measuring enormous, distant, bright stars isn't easy, and both UY Scuti and Stephenson 2-18, although very big, are probably not as big as initially thought. So by using the best measurements available, what is the current largest star in the known universe?

You were right to point out that the exact size of some of these huge stars can be very hard to measure. Red giant atmospheres seem to have a more diffuse edge than that of say, the Sun, or Sirius. If you look at photos of Betelgeuse, you can see redder and yellower areas, and a diffuse edge. That's right, the disc of Betelgwuse has been imaged. It is no longer merely a single point.

How dumb do you have to be to give the wrong definition of mass and volume? And since when do TV shows bother to give the definitions of these? On T.V.

Stephenson 2-18 took the title of the largest star known from the previous record holders, the red supergiants WOH G64 in the constellation Dorado and UY Scuti in Scutum. WOH G64 has an estimated radius between 1,540 and 1,730 solar radii, which is considerably smaller than St2-18.

Well, when it comes to mass, the limit is around 150 solar masses because of pressure. The more massive a star is, the more pressure there is in its core. The more pressure in the core of a star, the faster it fuses fuel. The faster it fuses fuel, the more energy it outputs. At a point, it’s outputting so much energy that it ends up blasting away any nearby matter that could’ve made it bigger. The upper limits on radius are less well understood, but are probably related.
