Marduk was the leader of the ancient Babylonian pantheon and chief among the gods. He was chosen to slay the old gods and create a new order, the center of which was Babylon. For his victory he was awarded the honorific titel of 'Bel', which means giant or great lord. He then ruled from his temple called Esagila, which ranslates into 'temple on a lofty top'.

Fittingly, the Throne of Marduk is a blue hypergiant located some 800ly above the galactic plane. With a size of 329 solar radii and a mass nearly 59 times that of Sol it is truly massive and only appropriate for a ruler of gods. Interestingly, the star is less than a million years old but hydrogen fusion apparently came to a halt in its core, dooming it for a supernova in the near (astronomical) future. It is also unclear, where the 59 solar masses came from as there are no remnants of thicker layers of dust or gas in its vicinity. It is lacking a young star's typical 'cradle'. Once again, it almost feels like it was ordered into existence by a god...
