In this paper we consider the full set of quantum gravitational corrections to a star metric to second order in curvature. As we use an effective field theoretical approach, these corrections apply to any model of quantum gravity that is based on general coordinate invariance. We then discuss the black hole limit and identify an interesting phenomenon which could shed some light on the nature of astrophysical black holes: while star metrics receive corrections at second order in curvature, vacuum solutions such as black hole metrics do not. What happens to these corrections when a star collapses?
