Big, Blue, and Proud of It

A Luminous Blue Variable star whose sheer stellar obesity and bright absolute magnitude rank it potentially high on luminous star lists and the minds of both astronomer and cosmologist alike because it reaches the extreme upper vicinity of the Eddington Limit, a theoretical threshold where a strapping star becomes a sucking singularity such as a Black Hole.
