Located some 25,000 light years away, the star is positioned about 7 pc (23 ly) away from a starburst cluster known as the Quintuplet cluster. It has an ejection nebula measuring over 0.8 pc in diameter, formed 5000-10,000 years ago through large eruptions. The star has a large mass comparable to the Pistol star and a luminosity of around 4,000,000 times the Sun (L☉). This places the star as one of the most massive and luminous stars known.
