How long will 150-solar-mass stars last?


As far as my knowledge goes, it's unknown, we have nothing to compare this star against (and it might go as high as 380 solar masses, we don't know).

It'll likely spend a few million years burning hydrogen before going to helium and heavier elements for a few thousand years.

A black hole is almost inevitable.
