HD 33579 is a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud.It is a white/yellow hypergiant and one of the brightest stars in the LMC. It is an extremely rare type of star currently evolving for the first time through the yellow evolutionary void from being a blue hypergiant to becoming a red hypergiant. This means the star is often referred to as a yellow hypergiant although the spectral type of A3 means it is also described as a white hypergiant.
