Astronomers have captured the death of a red supergiant star for the first time.
According to a press release from Northwestern, the team observed the red supergiant during the last 130 days before it collapsed into a Type II supernova.
Previous observations showed that red supergiants were relatively inactive before their deaths, without any evidence of violent eruptions or luminous emissions.
