n******I 发帖数: 628 | 1 Astronomers say they have discovered the most colossal star on record, in
a region of space known as the Tarantula nebula in a neighbouring galaxy
to our own.
The record-breaking star has a mass 265 times greater than the sun and is
millions of times brighter, they said.
The discovery has astonished scientists, who thought it was impossible for
stars to exceed more than 150 times the mass of the sun.
When the star was born it could have been more than twice as massive.
Because
it is so far away |
