Naos
Zeta Puppis
Despite its 'zeta' designation, Naos appears in the sky as the brightest of Puppis' stars. In reality, it is brighter still, and belongs to the highly luminous and hot O-type supergiants. Its distance from Earth is so great, though, that it appears relatively dim in comparison with closer stars.
