Issues also exist for stars larger than around 20 [[solar mass]]es.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/AstroPhysicalSciences22.html|title=Star Births?

However the largest star, named R136a1, is known to be 265 times heavier than the [[Sun]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://earthsky.org/space/how-big-is-the-biggest-monster-star|title=How big are the biggest monster stars?|accessdate=2018-12-29}}</ref>
