M33-013406.63, also known as B416,[2] is a supergiant star approximately 2,380,000 to 3,070,000 light years away[3] inside the Triangulum Galaxy in the Triangulum Constellation. It is one of the brightest supergiants ever discovered and one of the largest stars in the Triangulum Galaxy. It is estimated to be approximately 6,400,000 to 10,280,000 times more luminous than the Sun.[4]
