➀ Astronomers captured the first close-up image of a dying star outside the Milky Way using ESO's VLTI; ➁ The star, WH G64, is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud; ➂ The image reveals an egg-shaped cocoon surrounding the star, possibly related to a supernova event.

1. NASA's Webb Space Telescope captured an image of a cosmic firework display centered around a protostar named L1527. 2. The image, taken with the Mid-Infrared Camera (MIRI), shows organic compounds and energized gases surrounding the protostar. 3. The protostar, about 100,000 years old, is consuming gas and dust from its parent molecular cloud, creating a bright hourglass structure.
