You hit the nail on the head, Craig. Well said.
It's difficult trying to learn this stuff when theories are constantly changing and variations appear from different sources.
I understand a lot of this stuff is based on theories and information is always changing, but it's very hard trying to learn even the most basic of things.
A couple of days ago, I was reading in one of my astro mags about that super massive star that was recently discovered in the LMC (around 320 solar masses). What they think now (as per this article) it could be in fact a double star.
