Stellar Properties
SMC 018136 is a red supergiant of spectral type M3.5Ia with an effective temperature 3,575 K, a bolometric luminosity over 200,000 times more than Sun, and a radius over 1,300 times that of the sun, making it one of the largest stars so far discovered. If it were in the place of the Sun, its photosphere would at least engulf the orbit of Jupiter.
gollark: Honestly, I'd prefer the time travel thing.
gollark: Apioduohazards, which there are two of?
gollark: Nontemporal?
gollark: Apiokleptohazards could be neat too; they would steal things.
gollark: Just implement time travel.
