Giant star

It will end its life as a red giant before becoming a white dwarf.

Supernovas from larger, more massive stars are the ones that enrich the universe by scattering heavy elements across space.

Now, the star like UY Scuti, tell our listeners how much larger it is than our star, and if you put it in the place of our sun, how far would it go? That star will become a supernova once it goes, correct?

UY Scuti is absolutely massive, with a radius about 1,700 times larger than our sun.
