V602 Carinae (V602 Car, HD 97671) is a variable star with a radius over 1,000 times the radius of the Sun. The red supergiant is in the constellation Carina, with a class of M3-4. It is shining with over 100,000 times the luminosity of the Sun and is losing mass at the rate of 1.9 × 10−6 times the mass of the Sun per year.[2] An excess of emission at long wavelengths from this star, as well as a small amount of silicate emission, suggests that it may be enclosed by an extensive cloud of dust.[7]
