Astronomers have photographed a distant star in what appears to be its death throes, the first time such a phenomenon has been pictured happening outside the Milky Way galaxy.
The star, Sol, which is 2,000 times the size of our sun and has been dubbed the “behemoth star,” was photographed by the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. The find was published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
