The star is 36 times hotter than the sun

Astronomers have discovered a star with a surface temperature of 200,000 degrees Celsius in the Milky Way.

Daily Mail said, super hot stars are at the end of the life cycle and belonging to the Bug Nebula. Astronomers from Manchester University (UK) captured it with the Hubble space telescope.

"This star is very difficult to observe because it is obscured by a cloud of dust and ice in the middle of the nebula," said Albert Zijlstra, a professor of astronomy at the University of Manchester.

According to Zijlstra, Bug-like nebulae form when a dying star spits most of the material into the surrounding space. The Bug Nebula is about 3,500 light-years from Earth and belongs to the Scorpion constellation.

The sun - having a surface temperature of more than 5,500 degrees Celsius - also goes through the same stages as super hot stars. Scientists think the sun will cool down and die within 5 billion years.

"Researching Bug-like planetary nebulae is very important, because they help people understand our existence on the earth," Zijlstra commented.

Photos of the star will be published in Astrophysical magazine next week.
