The zoomed-in view was made possible by the European Southern Observatory's powerful Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), located in Chile's Atacama Desert. Researchers noted that this was the first time they successfully captured a direct image of a dying star in another galaxy at such close range.Read Entire Article

Astronomers capture first close-up of a dying star beyond our galaxy

For the first time in history, astronomers have taken a detailed image of a star from another galaxy. The giant dawn of WOH G64, wrapped in a cocoon of gas and dust, is preparing to explode like a supernova.

Впервые в истории астрономы сделали подробное изображение звезды из другой галактики. Гигантская заря WOH G64, завернутая в кокон из газа и пыли, готовится к взрыву как сверхновая.

The historic image of WOH G64, a star outside our galaxy

Madrid. For the first time, we have managed to capture an enlarged image of a dying star in a galaxy different from ours, the Milky Way, Keiichi Ohnaka, astrophysicist at the Andrés Bello University of Chile, told us.

Madrid. Por primera vez se ha logrado captar una imagen ampliada de una estrella moribunda en una galaxia distinta a la nuestra, la Vía Láctea, relató Keiichi Ohnaka, astrofísico de la Universidad Andrés Bello de Chile.

Astronomers take the first photograph of near a star outside our galaxy

Like a performer preparing for their big finale, a distant star is shedding its outer layers and preparing to explode as a supernova.  Astronomers have been observing the huge star, named WOH G64, since its discovery in the 1970s. It’s one of the largest known stars, and also one of the most luminous and massive red supergiants (RSGs). The star is surrounded by an envelope of expelled star-stuff, which could indicate it’s getting ready to explod…

A team of astronomers takes the first close-up image of a star outside our galaxy

Astronomers managed to record a star outside our galaxy for the first time, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) announced. This star, called WOH G64, is 160,000 light-years away and was captured thanks to the fantastic sharpness of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the European Southern Observatory.

Астрономи су успели први пут да сниме звезду ван наше галаксије, саопштила је Европска јужна опсерваторија (ЕСО). Ова звезда названа WOH G64 удаљена је 160.000 светлосних година од нас, а снимљена је захваљујући фантастичној оштрини Веома великог телескопа интерферометра (ВЛТИ) при Европској јужној опсерваторији.
