R136a1

R136a1 is the first Wolf-Rayet star that Sun Kirby has ever drawn. According to Sun Kirby, R136a1 is one of Rigel's caretakers, the other being Betelgeuse. Although she originated from the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, R136a1 visits Rigel from time to time in the Orion Nebula. R136a1 is the only extragalactic star that Rigel knows. Despite being only one million years old, Rigel believes that R136a1 is his mother. R136a1 is most known for being the most massive and luminous star discovered, at 215 M ☉ and 6.2 million L ☉. In the Large Magellanic Cloud, she lives with her siblings in the R136 cluster in the Tarantula Nebula. A close friend of hers is a red supergiant named WOH G64, who lives away from the Tarantula Nebula.
