The mostly friendly Australian bird of the family Artamidae (not to be confused with the Corvidae of the European magpie) who uses this branch of cyberspace to express various comments and opinions from deep inside the Pacific Rim, bids you welcome...
WOW. I love this fascinating stuff, I can spend hours looking through NASAs Website. It's amazing how far astronomy has come since Galileo Galilei invented the telescope.
The amazing thing about this discovery is that such an object should not be possible according to the rules of the physics as we understand they apply to stellar objects.
An important aside is that there is a difference between mass and size. There are 'bigger' stars, but this is the most 'massive'.

Interesting as hell and would like to know more. Those words zipped by so fast I couldn't catch 'em.
