The most detailed image of a star outside our own galaxy shows WOH G64, a giant star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy about 160,000 light-years from Earth. The star is encased in a cocoon of dust, which glows brightly in the infrared wavelengths that were used to snap this image. The ring around it may be a shell of dust expelled by the star years ago. The image was taken by the Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. [ESO/K. Ohnaka et al.]
