Beyond the Milky Way

A picture have been taken, or however they do it -- it's quite blurry, of a red supergiant star 2000x larger then our own sun. Designated as WOH G64 it is about 160 000 light-years from earth. It is located inside the Large Megallanic cloud, a small galaxy just outside the milky way.
