R136a1 is the biggest star known to the mankind.It is 320 times bigger than our sun and is of blue colour.
No. R136a1 is in the Tarantula Nebula, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation Dorado
R136a1 is one of the hottest known stars, with surface temperature around 50,000 degrees Celsius (90,000 degrees Fahrenheit). Its extreme heat causes it to emit intense ultraviolet radiation and it is a supergiant star, approximately 250 times more massive than the sun.
Cygnus OB2-12 is a very bright blue hypergiant with a temperature of about 18,500K
The hottest supergiant star is known as R136a1, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It has a surface temperature of around 50,000 degrees Celsius, making it one of the hottest known stars in the universe.
The brightest stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram are typically found in the top-left corner, known as the "upper main sequence." These stars are massive and luminous, such as blue supergiants or O-type stars. They have high temperatures and emit large amounts of energy.

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

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.
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).
if you want to know who discovered the great star R136a1 then it was A team of British astronomers led by Paul Crowther, and they discovered it by using a very large telescope that magnified the star and allowed them to discover it.
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.
R136a1 is one of the hottest known stars, with surface temperature around 50,000 degrees Celsius (90,000 degrees Fahrenheit). Its extreme heat causes it to emit intense ultraviolet radiation and it is a supergiant star, approximately 250 times more massive than the sun.
R136a1 is the brightest known star. VY Canis Majoris. Its bolometric luminosity is estimated at 8.7 million times that of our Sun. VY Canis Majoris has a bolometric luminosity estimated at 450,000 that of the Sun, which is still very powerful. Bolometric luminosity refers to the entire radiation emitted at all wavelengths (not only visible light), so it is a measure of the power emitted by the star.
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
At the moment R136a1 still holds the title, so see related question.
