Recent astronomical advancements have led to significant discoveries, including the first-ever photograph of a star in another galaxy, specifically in the Magellanic Cloud. This achievement was made possible through advanced interferometry techniques, revealing the surface of a star that is 2,000 times the size of the Sun and 300,000 times brighter, which is expected to become a supernova in a few thousand years. Additionally, a 3,000-light-year-long jet of plasma has been observed emanating from a central black hole in a galaxy with a mass of 6.5 billion solar masses, as captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Scientists have also produced the first detailed image of an individual photon, enhancing our understanding of light and matter interactions at the quantum level. These findings underscore the ongoing contributions of space telescopes like Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope in expanding our knowledge of the universe.
