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 take first close-up picture of a star outside our galaxy
Located a staggering 160,000 light-years from us, the star WOH G64 was imaged thanks to the impressive sharpness offered by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (ESO's VLTI).
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.
