From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
SMC 5092 is a red supergiant or red hypergiant found in the SMC (Small Magellanic Cloud). It is one of the largest stars known, with a size of nearly 1,300 solar radii. If it replaced the current central body of our solar system, the sun, this luminous star's photosphere would engulf the orbit of Jupiter.[1]
