Best Ever Image of a Star’s Surface and Atmosphere
Best Ever Image of a Star’s Surface and Atmosphere Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer astronomers have constructed the most detailed image ever of a star — the red supergiant star Antares. They have also made the first map of the velocities of material in the atmosphere of a star other than the Sun, revealing unexpected turbulence in Antares’s huge extended atmosphere. The results were published in the journal Nature. ESO News Feed Go to Source Powered by WPeMaticoRead More →
