How massive can a star get?
Hunter ArthurLargest star was detected by British astronomers called R 136 a1, in tarantula nebula.in LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD. WITH MASS OF 320 SUNS.
A NEW DETECTION MAKES IT 320 SOLAR MASS, UP FROM THE OLD ESTIMATED 150 SOLAR MASS.

Luca deA star can only have a maximum mass of about 150 times that of the Sun. Stars with masses higher than this can explode into supernovae, leaving behind remnants like neutron stars or black holes, as the balance between radiation pressure pushing outward and gravity pulling material inward becomes unstable.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
