UY Scuti was discovered in 1860 by German astronomers. This star can be found near the center of the Milky Way, around 9,500 lightyears away from Earth. It is a part of the constellation Scutum and can fit over 5 billion suns. Why does it not look as big and bright as our sun?

• It is closer to the Earth, so it appears brighter in the sky.

• It is closer to Earth, so it gives off more light to the places closer to it.

• It is farther from the Earth, so it appears less bright in the sky.
