Naos ("ship") is a runaway star

Zeta Puppis hottest and heaviest class of stars, known as Class O. rarest of all 
[6920] zeta Puppis, also known as Naos ("ship") and Suhail Hadar ("roaring bright one"). visible to the naked eye. 
Its mass is 59 times that of the Sun and its surface temperature is 42,400 K. Naos is a runaway star. (if not considering Wolf-Rayet stars). The extremely high surface temperature gives Zeta Puppis a deep bluish appearance, making it a prototypical O-type star (stars are classified into 7 classes, OBAFGKM, based on their spectrum, with O-type being the hottest).

Zeta Puppis is a blue supergiant star of spectral class O5IAf, making it one of the hottest stars in the galaxy with a surface temperature of 42,400 It is the second brightest such star in terms of its apparent magnitude, with only Zeta Orionis appearing brighter.

Zeta Orionis, also known by the more traditional name, Alnitak, is a triple star system in the constellation of Orion. One of the brightest stars in the night sky, it has an apparent magnitude of 1.70. Zeta Orionis, along with Delta Orionis (Mintaka) and Epsilon Orionis (Alnilam), make up the belt of Orion in the constellation. Zeta Orionis is the star that is leftmost in the belt, Lowell Observatory making Zeta Orionis a triple star system.

Puppis, (Latin: “Stern”) constellation in the southern sky. The largest known emission nebula, the Gum Nebula, is found here and in the neighboring constellation Vela. This constellation was originally part of the much larger Argo Navis, which represented the ship Argo, in which Jason and the Argonauts sailed to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, in his Coelum Australe Stelliferum (“Star Catalog of the Southern Sky,” 1763), broke up Argo Navis into the smaller constellations of Carina, Puppis, and Vela.
