See The First Close-Up Of A Star Outside Our Galaxy In A Weird ‘Cocoon’
WOH G64 is 2,000 times the size of the sun and is 160,000 light-years distant in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy.
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.
First Close-Up of Star Outside Our Galaxy Shows a Giant About to Blow
Astronomers zoomed in on a stellar behemoth in the Larger Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy that orbits about 160,000 light-years from the Milky Way.
Astronomers snap first up-close image of a star outside our galaxy
The Goldstone Solar System Radar, part of NASA’s Deep Space Network, made these observations of the recently discovered 500-foot-wide (150-meter-wide) asteroid 2024 MK, which made its closest approach — within about 184,000 miles (295,000 kilometers) of Earth — on June 29. NASA/JPL-Caltech

Scientists take first "zoomed-in" image of a star outside our galaxy
Scientists said they took the first-ever close-up image of a star outside of the Milky Way, capturing a blurry shot of a dying behemoth.
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.
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.
