![A 4 languages Read Edit View history Tools ✓ Godzilla (star) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Godzilla (disambiguation). Godzilla is a variable star in the Sunburst galaxy at redshift z = Godzilla (star) 2.37 (or 10.9 billion light years from Earth), observed through the gravitational lens PSZ1 G311.65-18.48. [1] It was originally identified in the NW arc as a possible transient event in images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). [2] As of October 2022, it is the most luminous star that can be currently observed. [1] [3] This is possible because the star is believed to be undergoing an episode of temporary increased luminosity that has lasted at least seven years, combined with an estimated magnification of at least a factor of 2000. The transient candidate dubbed Godzilla is the bright spot at the very center, at the left edge of the arc and immediately above the orange, foreground star.
