First star outside Milky Way captured: It's 2,000 times bigger than the sun

India Today

In a groundbreaking achievement, astronomers have obtained the first detailed image of a star outside our galaxy, capturing a pivotal moment in its life cycle. The star, known as WOH G64, is located an astonishing 1,60,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The image shows WOH G64, aptly nicknamed the "behemoth star," expelling gas and dust as it approaches the final stages of its life before becoming a supernova. Location of the star WOH G64 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This dimming phenomenon, along with the peculiar shape of the surrounding dust cocoon, may be attributed to the star shedding its outer layers – a process typical of red supergiants in their final life stages.
