O type hypergiant? edit
The referenced blurb hype from nasa.gov sloppily refers to this star as a "hypergiant" and also as O class, neither of which are correct. The article also describes the diameter of the stars as large enough to engulf the Earth's orbit which is simply incorrect. Cool hypergiants (and many cool supergiants) are large enough to engulf the earth, but this star is hot and nowhere near big enough. The starbox data for luminosity is also clearly wrong and should be corrected when a good source is added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lithopsian (talk • contribs) 10:24, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
