V354 Cephei facts for kids
V354 Cephei is a super giant star that is very, very big! It's so far away from our Sun – about 9,000 light years. A light-year is how far light travels in one year, which is a huge distance!
This amazing star is found in the Cepheus constellation, which is a group of stars that look like a king from Earth. V354 Cephei is one of the biggest stars known in the universe. Imagine a star so large that its diameter (the distance across it) is between 690 and 1,520 times bigger than our Sun! That's like fitting hundreds of Suns inside it.
