The Guardian (bless them!) today published a double page photo of a hyper-giant star that is 1.1bn miles across - 1,300 times bigger in diameter than the sun. Worryingly they describe this as "One of the 10 biggest objects yet to be found in the solar system". grin

Couldn't see the darn thing last night and its not in the sky this morning. How mysterious is that? grin
