S Apodis (HD 133444) is an R Coronae Borealis variable star located in the far southern constellation Apus. These are extremely hydrogen-deficient supergiants thought to have arisen as the result of the merger of two white dwarfs; fewer than 100 have been discovered as of 2012.[2] Located around 13,000 light-years distant, it shines with a luminosity approximately 960 times that of the Sun and has a surface temperature of 3916 K.[4]
