Astronomers were able to capture detailed observations of massive gas bubbles moving on the surface of a star, named R. Doradus, located 180 light-years away.

The images show the surface of the star R. Doradus, a red giant star 180 light-years away in the Dorado constellation. The star has a diameter about 350 times that of the sun, and it serves as a ...
