For the first time, scientists have captured a zoomed-in photo of a star outside of our Milky Way galaxy. The image revealed surprising details about WOH G64, a giant star that is probably dying. The star, which is about 1,500 times the size of our sun, sits 160,000 light-years away from Earth and is expected to explode into a supernova in the distant future.
Forecast for 6 months: No significant changes are expected in the coming months as scientists continue to study the star and gather more data.
Forecast for 1 year: In the next year, scientists may discover more about the star’s composition and behavior, potentially leading to a better understanding of the star’s fate.
Forecast for 5 years: In the next five years, the star may continue to dim, and scientists may observe the formation of a supernova remnant, marking the end of the star’s life.
Forecast for 10 years: In the next decade, the star is expected to explode into a supernova, releasing a massive amount of energy and potentially affecting the surrounding space.
