Detect extremely bright stars in the sky

The Spitzer Space Observatory has found a star that is 3.2 million times brighter than our sun, probably the brightest star in the Milky Way. It weighs 150 to 200 times the sun.

Even so bright, but why hasn't anyone realized it for 400 years since Galileo directed his first telescope into the air? The researchers say it is because it is so close to the center of the Milky Way (Milky Way), and this central region is an unusually dusty area. It never appears unless it is checked by infrared.

Lidia Oskinova, from the University of Potsdam, Germany, said that from what we know so far, there may be brighter stars. The comparison in this context is incorrect.
