Rigel

I thought this star would be interesting since it is much larger than the Sun;it has a radius 75 time the Sun's, a radius 18 times larger, and its temperature is also close to double. In addition, even though much of its energy is emitted as invisible ultraviolet light, it still manages to be 40,000 times brighter than the sun, which I found very impressive. In addition, if it were to ever explode as a supernova, it would become the brightest object in the sky. (disregarding the moon)
