Scientific paper

Among the few extragalactic objects that can be seen with the naked eye, the LMC and its Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) are perhaps the most impressive. This nebula, a giant region of ionized hydrogen, has long attracted astronomers and has been extensively studied with a large variety of telescopes. Drs. Johannes Feitzinger and Theodor Schmidt-Kaler from the Astronomical Institute of the Ruhr University in Bochum, FRG, have recently obtained extremely interesting observations ofthe central stars in the Tarantula Nebula. It would appear that one of these objects, R136, could be the most massive single "star" that has yet been discovered.
