Sh2-310 is also host to the stars Tau Canis Majoris [35] which is the brightest member of NGC 2362, [36] UW Canis Majoris and HD 58011 [35] which along with VY Canis Majoris [37] are thought to be probable sources of ionization of gases in Sh2-310. [35] Sh2-310 itself is located on the outer edge of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. [32]

Very Large Telescope image of the surroundings of VY Canis Majoris. Canis Major is also home to many variable stars. EZ Canis Majoris is a Wolf–Rayet star of spectral type WN4 that varies between magnitudes 6.71 and 6.95 over a period of 3.766 days; the cause of its variability is unknown but thought to be related to its stellar wind and ...
Very Large Telescope image of the surroundings of the red hypergiant VY Canis Majoris. An OH/IR star is an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) or a red supergiant or hypergiant (RSG or RHG) star that shows strong OH maser emission and is unusually bright at near-infrared wavelengths.
VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa) is a red hypergiant star located in the constellation Canis Major.One of the largest stars and also one of the most luminous of its type, it has a radius of approximately 1,420 ± 120 solar radii (equal to a diameter of 13.2 astronomical units, or about 1,976,640,000 km), and is situated about 1.2 kiloparsecs (3,900 light-years) from Earth.
