Thought we might see a monster in that particular cluster. It's the central region (R136) of the cluster that sits in the Tarantula. There's quite a few more monster stars in there apart from that one. It wouldn't surprise me if there's an even bigger one sitting in there somewhere. Something like 20000 solar masses lies within the central light year or so of the cluster. It's one of the densest star cluster around....rivals the Arches and Quintuplet Clusters for density.
