    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.

      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.

    It's false. Because the WOH G64 I googled its diameter, saying 2111000000 kilometers, while Stephenson 2-18 is 2999700000 kilometers. So Stephenson 2-18 is actually the largest star in the universe.

    Amazing to think about the time it would take at light speed to circumnavigate these stellar giants! Fantastic video -- as you say they'll probably turn JWST on another point of light and discover an even bigger monster star before too long.

      The only limits on their size is the age of the universe. Due to various reasons they can only grow at a certain rate, so just multiply the maximum rate of growth by the age of the universe to get the maximum mass of a black hole in the modern universe. Though ofc because the universe doesn’t care what we think, a fair few black holes we’ve found seem to exceed that limit.
