Godzilla is a variable star in the Sunburst galaxy at redshift z=2.38 (or 10.9 billion light years from Earth), observed through the gravitational lens PSZ1 G311.65-18.48.It was originally identified as a possible transient event in images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). As of October 2022, it is the most luminous star that can be currently observed. This is possible thanks to the fact that 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.

| - Годзилла — переменная звезда в галактике Sunburst Arc (Солнечная Дуга). Её красное смещение (z) составляет 2,38. Находится на расстоянии 10,9 миллиарда световых лет от Земли. Звезда испускает света в 15 000 000 раз больше, чем Солнце. По состоянию на 2023 год это самая яркая известная звезда во Вселенной. Это произошло благодаря тому, что у Годзиллы увеличивается светимость семь лет. Некоторые спектральные особенности Годзиллы похожи на присущие другим переменным звёздам в Млечном Пути (например, таким как эта Киля) и указывают на то, что Годзилла подходит к концу своей жизни.

| - Godzilla is a variable star in the Sunburst galaxy at redshift z=2.38 (or 10.9 billion light years from Earth), observed through the gravitational lens PSZ1 G311.65-18.48.It was originally identified as a possible transient event in images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). As of October 2022, it is the most luminous star that can be currently observed. This is possible thanks to the fact that 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. Some spectral features in Godzilla resemble those of other variable stars in our Galaxy such as Eta Carinae suggesting that Godzilla could be close to the end of its life. Godzilla is believed to be going through an episode similar to the Great Eruption of Eta Carinae in the 19th century, during which given star was likely among the brightest in the universe at about 50 million L☉. The extreme magnification of Godzilla is partially due to a nearby substructure, probably a dwarf galaxy, not seen in the HST images, that is also close to the of the cluster. This unobserved substructure is believed to be dominated by dark matter. (en)
