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 ...
R136a1 (short for RMC 136a1) is one of the most massive and luminous stars known, at nearly 200 M ☉ and nearly 4.7 million L ☉, and is also one of the hottest, at around 46,000 K.
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
The most massive type of degenerate star is the neutron star. See Most massive neutron star for this recordholder. [NB 3] Most massive neutron star PSR J0740+6620: 2019 2.14 M ☉ Several candidates exist which have a higher mass, however their mass has been measured by less precise methods and as such their mass value is regarded as less ...
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 ...
Sharpest Image Ever of R136a1, Largest Known Star; Image title: Nestled in the center of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the largest star yet discovered. With the help of the Zorro imager and the power of the 8.1-meter Gemini South telescope in Chile, astronomers have produced the sharpest image ever of this star.
It is a type of massive star called a red supergiant. ... "We found out that WOH G64 has changed its appearance noticeably in the last 10 years," Ohnaka said, adding that it was becoming dimmer ...
Researchers estimate that it could contain somewhere between 1,000 and 10,000 trillion stars. Astronomers just discovered one of the most massive objects in the universe hiding behind the Milky ...
