Description
Biggest star humanity has ever discovered.
Core is so hot it does fusion reactions binding nuclei to create elements all the way through the periodic table.
Is 2100 solar radii
Want to find it? It has a declination of -25 degrees
and right ascension of 7 hours and 22 mins approx.
Diameter of 3.0 billion km. or 200AU in diameter (1 AU is equal to the distance from Earth to sun 149 598 000 but we will round it up to the nearest million (150000000)
Apparent magnitude is 6.5 to 9.6 so it is unlikely you will be able to see it with naked eye unless it is at it;s highest elevation, low humidity and clear skies, but it would be VERY FAINT
