Star name Temperature ()Spectral type Distance (light years) Notes WISE 0855–0714: 285 Y4 7.426 ± 0.039 [9]WISE 0336-0143B [10]: 295 ± 10 [11]: Y1? 32.7 [12]: spectral type is not yet published, but should be around Y1 if we assume MIRI F480M is similar to W2 and by using Figure 13 from Kirkpatrick et al. 2012 [13] Might be a later spectral type.
A star is a massive luminous spheroid astronomical object made of plasma that is held together by its own gravity.Stars exhibit great diversity in their properties (such as mass, volume, velocity, stage in stellar evolution, and distance from Earth) and some of the outliers are so disproportionate in comparison with the general population that they are considered extreme.

A typical large galaxy like the Milky Way contains hundreds of billions of stars. There are more than 2 trillion (10 12) galaxies, though most are less than 10% the mass of the Milky Way. [107] Overall, there are likely to be between 10 22 and 10 24 stars [108] [109] (more stars than all the grains of sand on planet Earth).
Giant Squid. In early 2005, more than 1,500 giant squid — each around 3 to 4 feet in length — washed ashore, most in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Crystal Cove State Park in California.
