Astronomers have captured the first detailed image of a dying star outside our galaxy using the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. The star, WOH G64, is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and is surrounded by an egg-shaped cocoon of gas and dust. It has dimmed significantly over the past decade, suggesting it may be nearing the end of its life as a red supergiant. This discovery offers a rare glimpse into a star's final stages.
