It is the most massive star that has a Bayer designation. It was only discovered to be (at least) two stars in the past few decades. Both the obscuring clouds and the great distances also make it difficult to judge whether the star is just a single supermassive object or, instead, a multiple star system. A number of the "stars" listed below may ...
The R136a system at the core of R136 is a dense luminous knot of stars containing at least 12 stars, [11] the most prominent being R136a1, R136a2, and R136a3, all of which are extremely luminous and massive WN5h stars.
A red giant star with one of the largest ranges in brightness known of stars in the night sky visible to the unaided eye. Despite its large radius, it is less massive than the Sun. 119 Tauri (CE Tauri, Ruby Star) 587 – 593 [76] AD ρ Cassiopeiae: 564 ± 67 or 700 ± 112 [77] AD
So Gaia BH3 is the most massive black hole in our galaxy that formed from the death of a massive star. Stellar black holes observed across the Milky Way galaxy are about 10 times as massive as the ...
UY Scuti was analyzed to be the largest and the most luminous of the three stars measured, at 1,708 ± 192 R ☉ (1.188 × 10 9 ± 134,000,000 km; 7.94 ± 0.89 AU) based on an angular diameter of 5.48 ± 0.10 mas and an assumed distance of 2.9 ± 0.317 kiloparsecs (kpc) (about 9,500 ± 1,030 light-years) which was originally derived in 1970 ...
The most powerful telescope to be launched into space has made history by detecting a record number of new stars in a distant galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, history's largest and most ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has helped demystify the strange 2009 observation of a giant star about 25 times more massive than the sun that appeared to disappear from existence.
R136a3 is a Wolf–Rayet star in R136, a massive star cluster located in Dorado.It is located near R136a1, the most massive and luminous star known.R136a3 is itself one of the most massive and most luminous stars known at about 179 times more massive and 5 million times more luminous than the Sun.
