UY Scuti is a red supergiant star in the constellation Scutum, classified as a semiregular variable with a pulsation period of approximately 740 days. Located near the center of the Milky Way at an estimated distance of about 5,100 light-years, the star has been identified as one of the largest know...
Why this score
Often cited among largest stars, high public recognition, though size estimates are uncertain.
Scoring methodology
Delta Scuti is an A-type subgiant star located in the constellation Scutum that serves as the prototype for a class of short-period pulsating variable stars. These variables undergo slight, rapid fluctuations in luminosity over periods ranging from a few minutes to a few hours due to radial and non-...
Why this score
Prototype Delta Scuti pulsator, important for asteroseismology, but lower public visibility.
Scoring methodology
Stephenson 2-18 is a highly luminous red supergiant observed in the direction of the massive stellar cluster Stephenson 2 in the constellation Scutum. It is frequently described as a possible cluster member, although its distance, membership, temperature, and physical dimensions remain uncertain. Es...
Why this score
Largest-star candidate with high public visibility, but estimates are debated and less settled.
Scoring methodology
IC 1295 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Scutum. Its visible form includes several shell-like layers of gas expelled during the late evolution of its central star, and long-exposure images can show a greenish appearance caused by emission from ionized atoms. The object is faint compared wi...
