74% Informative
The star, called WOH G64 , is located 160,000 light years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
It is thought to be the largest star in the galaxy, classified as a red supergiant and about 2,000 times the mass of the sun.
The images reveal the star is undergoing a dramatic transition and suggest that in the past decade it has blown off its outer layer, leaving it surrounded by an egg-shaped cocoon.
