The discovery of the largest ever star, in the Tarantula Nebula galaxy, was made today !
It's nickname: R136a1 !
R136a1 has been discovered by a British project using the Very Large Telescope in Chile and measured to be several hundred times the mass and several million times the brightness of Sun.
Confused?
Consider this.
If Sun was as large as R136a1, then everything on the surface of Earth would be destroyed ! ......from heat and radiation.
