Bizarre object 10 million times brighter than the sun defies physics, NASA says
A bizarre 'ultraluminous X-ray source' shines millions of times brighter than the sun, breaking a physical law called the Eddington limit, a new study finds.
Reference The largest known star in the universe is UY Scuti, a hypergiant with a radius around 1,700 times larger than the sun.
Reference The Eagle Nebula, or Messier 16, is an area of active star formation about 5,700 light-years from Earth and is home to the iconic Pillars of Creation.
Reference Jupiter's moon Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and likely has a salty ocean underneath its icy surface. We explore the moon in more detail here.
