What is IRAS 05280-6910?
'''IRAS 05280–6910''' (also known as '''[[Large magellanic cloud|LMC]] 582''') is a [[red supergiant]] [[star]] or [[OH/IR star|OH/IR supergiant star]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Wood|first1=P.

Its radius is 1,367 to 1,736 times [[Solar radius|that of the Sun]], making it one of the [[List of largest stars|largest stars]] found so far. If it was placed at the center of the [[Solar System]], its [[photosphere]] would reach and eat the orbit of [[Jupiter]]. It is estimated that the star loses {{val|5.4|e=-4|u={{solar mass|link=y}}}} (Solar mass) per year, this mass loss rate is the highest known for any red supergiant star. {{Starbox begin|name=IRAS 05280–6910}} {{Starbox image|image=|caption=|credit=}} {{Starbox observe|ra={{RA|05|28|00.28}}|dec={{DEC|-69|10|26.0}}<ref name=gruendl>{{Cite journal | last1 = Gruendl | first1 = R.A. | last2 = Chu | first2 = Y.-H. | title = High- and intermediate-mass young stellar objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud. | arxiv = 0908.0347 | doi = 10.1088/0067-0049/184/1/172 | journal = The Astrophysical Journal Supplement | volume = 184 | pages = 172–197 | year = 2009 | issue = 1 | bibcode = 2009ApJS..184..172G | doi-access = free }}</ref>|epoch=J2000|equinox=J2000|constell=[[Dorado]] ([[Large Magellanic Cloud|LMC]])}} {{Starbox character|appmag_2=14.45<ref name=vanloon>{{Cite journal | last1 = Van Loon | first1 = J.T. | last2 = Marshall | first2 = J.R. | last3 = Zijlstra | first3 = A.
