HV 888 , also known as WOH S140 , is a red super giant (RSG) in the Large Magellanic Cloud , a companion galaxy to the Milky Way , and can be found in the constellation Swordfish , which is located in the southern hemisphere. It is one of the largest known stars with a radius of more than a thousand solar radii and is also one of the most luminous stars of its kind with about 300,000 times the brightness of the sun . The effective temperature is estimated to be around 3,500 Kelvin (K). If it were in the center of the solar system , its photosphere would devour Jupiter's orbit .
