LONDON - A big ball of burning gas light drifting through the neighboring galaxy may be the heaviest stars ever found - hundreds of times larger than the sun, scientists said Wednesday, after working hard for the first time.They say finding a star behind the so-called R136a1, may have weight as much as 320 solar masses. Astrophysicist Paul Crowther said the star of obesity - more than twice as heavy, as previously found - has slimmed down enough during its lifetime.In fact, it burned itself with such intensity that shines on nearly 10 million times the luminosity of the sun."Unlike humans, stars are born heavy and lose weight as they age," said Crowther, an astrophysicist at the University of Sheffield in northern England. "R136a1 already middle-aged and had undergone an intense weight loss program."Crowther said the giant was identified in the middle of the star cluster in the Tarantula Nebula, a cloud that formed from gas and dust in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the galaxy about 165,000 light years from our Milky Way.The biggest star is identified by a few giant Crowther and his team in an article in Monthly Notices Royal Astronomical Society.While other stars can be larger, especially the red-swelling known as red giants, they are much more severe.

A whale jumping a cruise!
Ralph Mothes and Paloma Werner from the Sailing Academy Cape Town in South Africa are the parents when it comes to the expedition on the high seas. But there's no way they can anticipate wildlife meeting on Sunday when they set out to sail close to Robben Island routine: A 40-ton whale jumps out of the sea and landed on the deck of their ship, the London Daily Telegraph reports. Fortunately, Mothes and Werner both come out alive, as did the pope.
