What's the largest star?

 Today, stars top out at about 100 times the mass of the sun. (Yes, the sun is a small star; it is in fact considered a dwarf star).

But the very first stars? Some of them were over 10,000 times the size of the sun. Imagine that! They were also made of much lighter elements and did not live very long. These giant firecrackers burned out in about a million years or even less, and then could not form again.

But they created the matter that makes us. So I suppose I should call a toast to them.

We are star stuff.
