The team was led by Universite de Montreal researchers from the Centre de recherche en astrophysique du Quebec (CRAQ). They successfully "weighed" a star of a binary system with a mass 116 times greater than that of the Sun, waltzing with a companion of 89 solar masses, doubly beating the previous record and breaking the symbolic barrier of 100 solar masses for the first time. .......Astrophysicists find biggest star-Health/Sci-The Times of India Quote
