    Stephenson 2-18 is a very large red hypergiant star in the Stephenson 2 cluster, located 20,000 ly in the constellation of Scutum. It has a tremendous size of 2,150 times the size of our Sun, Stephenson 2-18 himself is a very gentle giant...he constantly blinds or makes people deaf, because of his loud echo-y voice, considering he's very large ..he likes to be called "Stephen" for short...and he sometimes can't hear himself through his own voice!
