It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and, as it turns out, its mass is about 150-200 solar masses. It is worth noting that the celestial body is located at a distance of about 150 thousand light-years from the Earth.
The final discovery was made possible by the use of the Gemini Observatory telescope. It was with his help that scientists obtained the clearest images of the cluster to date.
The results of the observation will reportedly be at least a reference point for determining the upper limit of the mass of the largest stars. This may be of decisive importance for understanding their formation mechanisms.
