What is IRC −10414?
'''IRC-10414''' is a Red hyper giant star and is one of the largest stars known. It is not well known because IRC’s and IRAS’s are not very popular. If you placed it in the [[Solar System|Solar system]], It would engulf the planets [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], [[Venus]], [[Earth]], [[Mars]], and dwarf planet [[Ceres (dwarf planet)|Ceres]]. However, IRC 10414 is a bit tiny compared to larger stars such as [[WOH G64]], [[VY Canis Majoris]] and [[UY Scuti]]. It is still a big honking star. It is approximately 1,000 times bigger than our own Star, The [[Sun]]. It is not likely that it has planets, But another large star, [[VV Cephei]], has a smaller companion, so there is a small chance IRC-10414 has a smaller companion. However, scientists have not found a single binary orbiting this huge star. {{DEFAULTSORT:IRC -10414}} [[Category:Hypergiants]] {{sci-stub}}
