Pure science. The star is loosing mass quickly, they took these pictures to see if convection was the cause. That hypothesis seems to be incorrect and now "They reason that a new, currently unknown, process may be needed to explain these movements in the extended atmospheres of red supergiants like Antares."

Every question should lead to at least one more question. This way we will never run out!

We have many many more discoveries left in science and astronomy then we could possibly imagine, if we don't kill ourselves

Too bad that star is most likely already gone.

Its 550 light years away. Now, I'm no star expert, but I've got a feeling its still there.
