Thread: Milky Way’s Second Brightest Star Discovered

The astronomers have found the second brightest star of the Milky Way. It was found hidden in a flower dust cloud near the center of the Milky Way. It is known to be the one of the most dangerous in our home galaxy. This star is called Peony Nebula Star. It has brightness of 3.2 million suns. The brightest star of the galaxy Eta Carina has brightness equal to 4.7 million suns. It is the second most massive star, starting its life at more than 1000 times the mass of our sun. But the study of super giant stars becomes very difficult due to their rareness and short life, i.e., equal to just billion years.
