Largest star in Milky Way is DYING and could collapse into a black hole... - The US Sun

A HYPERGIANT star is dying and researchers have been studying the phenomenon closely.

Dubbed VY Canis Majoris, this star may be the largest in our Milky Way galaxy.

"People used to think these massive stars simply evolve into supernovae explosions, but we are no longer sure about that.".

They looked at molecules in ejected matter from the hypergiant star and then created maps of sulfur oxide, sulfur dioxide, silicon oxide, phosphorus oxide, and sodium chloride using data from Nasa's Hubble telescope.
