BASIC INFO

Pistol Star is an extremely massive and luminous star. Located in the Quintuplet Cluster within the constellation of Sagittarius, it stands out for its extraordinary properties. The star's immense size and brightness make it a key object of interest for astronomers studying massive stars and stellar evolution. The Pistol Star's luminosity is estimated to be millions of times greater than that of the Sun, and its mass is thought to be over 100 times that of our Sun.
