COSMIC MESSAGE

This is the first direct image of a star's surface other than our Sun. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, it shows Betelgeuse, a red supergiant about 600 light-years away in Orion. The atmosphere reveals unexpected features, including a large bright hotspot. While cooler than the Sun, Betelgeuse is more massive and over a thousand times larger.
