WR102. A star that is 200,000 degrees hotter than the Sun

Several thousand light years away from the Sun there is a fiery inferno. The surface of a small star is so scorching-hot that its heat reduces any celestial bodies in the neighbouring parts of space to ashes. It is burning so furiously that it barely remains in its shape. This object is about to explode, and the blast is going to produce an incredibly powerful flare. We know just a few suchlike objects. Unique and dangerous, WR 102 is the hottest star in the universe.
