…n the Galaxy, named OGLE-GD-CEP-1884, can be categorised as the first ultra-long-period Cepheid in the Milky Way. The period of 78.14 days is nearly ten days longer than that of the previous record-holding Cepheid, S Vulpeculae. This star is present in the ASAS-SN and Gaia DR3 catalogs of variable stars, yet it has been classified as a long-period variable. Based on more than ten years of the photometric monitoring of this star conducted by the OG…
