[vsnet-chat 665] A new massive star discovered?

[stars@personal.eunet.fi (Timo Kinnunen)]

        Dear colleagues,

        While cursing bad weather and Finland disqualifying
football championship tournament, I would like to know more
about some discovery.

        The finnish commercial news put it like this:
"Astronomers have found the most massive star in the Universe
from the center of our galaxy. Its mass is about 200 (!)
solar masses. Energy output in six seconds the same as our Sunīs
in one year."

                                Regards,
                                Timo Kinnunen
