By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — Astronomers have captured the first close-up image of a star beyond our galaxy, taken during a dramatic moment near the end of the star’s life. In it, the “behemoth” star appears to puff out gas and dust, a critical final step before exploding in a supernova. The star, known as WOH G64, is 160,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small neighboring galaxy that orbits the Milky Way. Research…

Scientists releases first ‘zoomed-in’ image of star outside Milky Way

Scientists said Thursday they have taken the first ever close-up image of a star outside of the Milky Way, capturing a blurry shot of a dying behemoth 2,000 times bigger than the Sun.Roughly 160,000 light years from Earth, the star WOH G64 sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our home Milky Way.It is a red supergiant, which is the largest type of star in the universe because they expand into space as they near their explosiv…

First close-up photo of a star outside the Milky Way captured

160,000 light-years from planet Earth, a giant star is in agony. It could be on the verge of death, which means it expels huge amounts of gas and dust in a chaotic cosmic dance. Everything seems to indicate that it is in the last stages of its life before becoming a supernova. When that happens, one of the most energetic events in the universe will occur: the star will briefly release an enormous amount of light and energy and then go out foreve…

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). The new observations reveal a star puffing out gas and dust in the last stages before it becomes a supernova.

Astronomers take first close-up picture of a star outside our galaxy

A group of astronomers, working with data from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), has managed to obtain images of a star located on the outside of our galaxy. Up to now, the technology available only allowed to capture photographs in detail of a few stars of the Milky Way and now, for the first time, it has been possible to observe with sufficient level of precision a much more distant star, located in the Great Cloud of Magellan, a satell…
