Scientists solve 'the biggest mystery in the universe' after finding 'impossible' stars which are 300 times the size of our sun | Mail Online: "Scientists have come up with a theory which could answer one of the biggest mysteries in the universe.

In 2010, NASA scientists discovered four stars which absolutely dwarf anything that comes before them - they are 300 times as massive as the Sun, and twice as large as it was predicted stars could ever be.



Now researchers at the Bonn University in Germany, say the stars, part of the giant star cluster R136 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is about 160,000 light years from Earth, could be the size they are thanks to a few mergers and acquisitions."
