HV 888, also known as WOH S140, is a red supergiant (RSG) star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.[9] It is among the largest known stars, with a radius ranging from over 1,400 to nearly 2,000 times that of the Sun (R☉) and is also one of the most luminous of its type with a range of nearly 300,000 to over 500,000 times that of the Sun (L☉).[10][5][6] The effective temperature is estimated to be around 3,500 K.[4] If placed at the center of the Solar System, its photosphere would engulf the orbit of Jupiter and possibly even Saturn.

[de] HV 888

HV 888, auch bekannt als WOH S140, ist ein Roter Überriese (RSG) in der Großen Magellanschen Wolke, einer Begleitgalaxie der Milchstraße, und ist im Sternbild Schwertfisch zu finden, welches sich auf der südlichen Himmelshalbkugel befindet.[4] Er gehört zu den größten bekannten Sternen mit einem Radius von mehr als tausend Sonnenradien und ist auch einer der leuchtkräftigsten Sterne seiner Art mit der etwa 300.000-fachen Helligkeit der Sonne.[5][6][7] Die effektive Temperatur wird auf etwa 3.500 Kelvin (K) geschätzt.[8] Befände er sich im Zentrum des Sonnensystems, würde seine Photosphäre die Umlaufbahn des Jupiter verschlingen.
