  2. #2 V838 Monocerotis — --9,223,372,036,854,775,808 kg

    red supergiant

    V838 Monocerotis is a cataclysmic binary star in the constellation Monoceros about 19,000 light years from the Sun. The previously unremarked star was observed in early 2002 experiencing a major outburst, and was one of the largest known stars for a short period following the outburst. Originally believed to be a typical nova eruption, it was then identified as the first of a new class of eruptive variables known as luminous red novae. The reason for the outburst is still uncertain, but is... Read more on Wikipedia.
