Hence, a menstrual period is the shedding of the uterus lining. The duration of a menstrual period on the average is between three to five days. As such, a period that lasts between two to seven days is considered normal. The amount of blood lost in each cycle is measured between four to twelve teaspoons.
Not surprisingly, UY Scuti is classified as a hypergiant star â which is the classification which comes after supergiant and regular giant. Its size may make it the biggest, but it is not the most massive star (where the mass in massive stands for the amount of matter in the star).
Following this discovery, UY Scuti was officially named the largest known star in the galaxy, surpassing previous record holders such as Betelgeuse, VY Canis Majoris, and NML Cygni. While there are stars that are brighter and denser than UY Scuti, it has the largest overall size of any star currently known, with a radius of 1,708 Â± 192 Râ. That figure amounts to somewhere between 1,054,378,000 and 1,321,450,000 miles in size, which is about 1,700 times larger than our Sunâs radius and 21 billion times the volume.
