Considering its distance is estimated at 10,000 parsecs (I thought 32,616.3 LY sounded familiar

), it is not surprisingly a blue-white supergiant. It has both Bayer and Flamsteed designations.
Whether it actually is that far away is another matter, however. I certainly don't trust
Starry Night or
Redshift 4 that much.
