VFTS 682 is a Wolf–Rayet star in the Large Magellanic Cloud.It is located over 29 parsecs (95 ly) north-east of the massive cluster R136 in the Tarantula Nebula. [5] It is 138 times the mass of the Sun and 3.2 million times more luminous, which makes it one of the most massive and most luminous stars known.
VFTS 102 is a star located in the Tarantula nebula, a star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The peculiarity of this star is its projected equatorial velocity of ~ 610 km/s (about 2,000,000 km/h ), making it the second fastest rotating massive star known alongside VFTS 285 ( 609 km/s ), and ...

BAT99-98 is a Wolf–Rayet star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in NGC 2070 near the R136 cluster in the Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus). At 226 M ☉ and 5,000,000 L ☉ it is the most massive known star, and close to one of the most luminous stars currently known. [3]
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a dwarf galaxy and satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. [7] At a distance of around 50 kiloparsecs (163,000 light-years), [2] [8] [9] [10] the LMC is the second- or third-closest galaxy to the Milky Way, after the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal (c. 16 kiloparsecs (52,000 light-years) away) and the possible dwarf irregular galaxy called the Canis Major Overdensity.
NASA unveiled the latest images from the James Webb Space Telescope on Tuesday, which focused on the Tarantula Nebula, a mass of interstellar gas and dust home to countless stars. The nebula is ...
