Astronomers reveal the first detailed image of a dying star in another galaxy
Ohnaka and his team found an egg-shaped shell of dust and gas surrounding WOH G64 - a dying star about 160,000 light-years away from us.
First-Ever Detailed Image of a Star Outside Milky Way—and It Could Explode
The star, situated in a galaxy orbiting our own tens of thousands of light-years away, may be on the verge of a spectacular demise.
Astronomers capture first close-up of dying star in another galaxy
Scientists have obtained an unprecedented image of WOH G64, a massive red supergiant star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, as it nears the end of its life. Surrounded by a glowing cocoon of gas and dust, the star is expected to explode in a supernova soon—an event never before imaged in such detail in another galaxy.
Scientists captured an image of a star beyond the Milky Way for the first time ever
Scientists have finally imaged a star outside of the Milky Way for the first time. Here's what it looks like and how they did it.

WOH G64 is 2,000 times the size of the sun and is 160,000 light-years distant in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy.
Star imaged in detail outside the Milky Way for the 1st time (image, video)
Astronomers have captured the first zoomed-in image of a star beyond the Milky Way. The historic image reveals a dying behemoth star wrapped in a death shroud of gas about to explode.
Scientists obtain image of a star on the precipice of disaster
Scientists have taken a close-up picture of a star apparently in its death throes, surrounded by gas and dust as it heads toward its demise in a huge explosion called a supernova - the first time the events of this pivotal stage have ever been imaged.
First Detailed Image of a Star Outside Our Galaxy Is Out of This World
The star’s name is WOH G64, offering rare onomatopoeic satisfaction for sounding exactly like what you might say when you see the image for the first time. The star is a red supergiant ( like the famous Betelgeuse) and it sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that contains some 30 billion stars.
Astronomers photograph star outside of galaxy for the first time
For the first time ever, a team of astronomers has successfully captured a "zoomed-in" image of a star outside of our own Milky Way Galaxy. The newly imaged dying star, designated WOH G64, is about 2,
