Keiichi Ohnaka highlights the unprecedented achievement, stating that capturing a magnified image of a dying red supergiant in another galaxy marks a significant milestone in astronomy.
The star WOH G64 is nearing the end of its life, displaying chaotic gas and dust expulsion, signaling its inevitable transformation into a supernova.
Combining the four 1.8-meter telescopes' light allowed researchers to overcome the limitations of single-telescope imaging, demonstrating innovation in astronomical observation techniques.
The successful imaging of WOH G64 not only enhances our understanding of stellar deaths but also exemplifies the advancements in observational astronomy using existing technology.
