[Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions] You may like Watch red supergiant star Antares shine close ... wide. Very high angular resolution of distant objects can therefore be attained ...

The team imaged Antares using infrared interferometry, providing the best-ever angular resolution on a star's disk. They interferometer signal suggests the presence of convective cells.

Of course, the moon and Antares won't be the only celestial sights on May 13. The bright star Arcturus will be visible almost ...

But now, a team of astronomers has combined three telescopes to map the surface of another star: the red supergiant Antares ... AMBER instrument to achieve a resolution seven times smaller ...

With a 4.5-inch f/8 reflector at 152x, I perceived some resolution ... a wide field will bring Antares into view. Use medium to high power to keep the bright star out of the way.

Figure 1: Reconstructed velocity-resolved images of Antares. Figure 2: Spatially resolved spectra over the stellar disk and atmosphere of Antares. Since convection alone cannot explain the density ...
