R136a1 is the most massive star known. It has a temperature of about 53,000oK.
Our Sun for comparison has a paltry 6,000oK.
No. R136a1 is in the Tarantula Nebula, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation Dorado
R136a1 is the biggest star known to the mankind.It is 320 times bigger than our sun and is of blue colour.
In terms of volume and most massive:Volume: VY Canis Majoris.Massive: R136a1
i don't know about the hr diagram but the brightest star known is r136a1
The most massive star known is R136A1 - a rather disappointing name - has a temperature of about 53,000 degrees kelvin. Our Sun for comparison is a mere 5,778 degrees kelvin.
The surface temperature is believed to be approximately 53,000 Kelvin.

R136a1's heat would probably vaporize all of the planets.

As far as mass goes, R136a1 beats out VY Canis Majoris by 253 solar masses (265 solar masses for R136a1 vs Canis Majoris' 30). However, VY Canis Majoris beats out R136a1 in radius by about 1,385 solar radii (Canis Majoris is 1,420 solar radii vs R136a1's ~35).
It is called R136a1. It is in a star cluster in a nearby galaxy.
R136a1 is the most luminous at about 8,700,000 times more than the Sun. VY Canis Majoris is only 450,000 times more luminous than our Sun.

VY Canis Majoris will spill gas onto R136a1 or destroy it or the stars will explode in high amounts of gamma rays into space no one knows how stars smash together or probably no one saw a star collision yet
Both are stars. Other than that, not much: R136a1 is a Wolf-Rayet star, and is both the most massive and the most luminous star known, making it quite different to our Sun. Its large mass (and corresponding high energy output) also make it relatively short-lived.
