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!
I keep waiting for the day when we find out something about stars that makes us radically re-evaluate the future of the sun. As in, "Oh shit, I guess it's gonna kill us in 1,000 years now. Our bad lol.".

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.

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

It looks like a decal from Star Fox 64.

Am I suppose to wait for the blurry image of a reconstruction to clear up or refer to the "artists impression"?

Exactly. Check out QNfee on YouTube instead for authentic footage.

Lol. Minutes of footage of vibrations from using a shitty tripod and zooming in too far. What an idiot.

Get that red giant bullshit outta here. Take that shit to reddit. Yellow Dwarfs are the only REAL stars!
