Monster Star Thousand Times Bigger Than Our Sun Could Soon Explode - with video

Located at a distance of about 13 000 light-years from Earth, in the heart of the Milky Way in the constellation of Scorpius, a yellow hypergiant with a diameter about a thousand times bigger than our Sun could soon face its final days and die.

Despite its enormous size, the star has not been identified as yellow hypergiant until recently.

When the stars explodes, astronomers will have a new opportunity to study a supernova explosions in our galaxy.
