Solitary Superstar Discovered

Astronomers have found an unusually bright star (VFTS 682) in the Large Magellanic Cloud that is about 150 times as massive as our Sun, unusual because stars this massive are generally found in the centers of star clusters but this one exists on its own, leaving its origin unexplained.
