A star cloaked in an egg-shaped cocoon has been revealed in the first detailed images of a star beyond the Milky Way.
Until now, stars in other galaxies have been visible as little more than points of light, even when observed using telescopes. Now, thanks to the European Southern Observatoryâs Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), astronomers have captured the first zoomed-in image.

The international criminal court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

ICC arrest warrants have also been issued for the countryâs former defence minister Yoav Gallant and the Hamas leader Mohammed Deif for alleged war crimes relating to the Gaza war.
The warrants put Netanyahu and Gallant at risk of arrest if they travel abroad. There have been unconfirmed reports that Deif may have been killed by Israel.
The courtâs chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, had requested the arrest warrants in May, saying there were reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu and Gallant bore âcriminal responsibilityâ for causing mass starvation in Gaza that constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity.
On Thursday the court said it had found reasonable grounds to believe that Deif was responsible for crimes against humanity and war crimes including murder, torture, rape and hostage taking.
The US has previously welcomed ICC war crimes warrants against Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials for atrocities committed in Ukraine, while denouncing the courtâs pursuit of Netanyahu and Gallant, a mixed stance which has exposed the Biden administration to accusations of double standards from many UN members, particularly from the global south.
Israel has rejected the jurisdiction of the court, which is based in The Hague, and denies war crimes in Gaza.
Posting to social media, Israelâs recently appointed foreign minister, Gideon Saar said: â⊠From a political perspective â issuing the orders against a country that operates according to international law is a reward and encouragement to the axis of evil, which violates it blatantly and consistently.
âDecent countries and every decent person in the world must reject this injustice with disgust.â

The Met Office put three yellow warnings for snow and ice in place in the North, the Midlands, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - advising that vehicles could be stranded, power cuts may occur and rural areas could be cut off.
The yellow warning for England has been issued until 11am and the warning for Scotland will remain in place until 10am on Wednesday. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued the first amber cold weather health alert of the season, warning conditions could be dangerous for vulnerable people, including the elderly.
The amber warning covers the east and north of England, the Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber, with yellow alerts coming into place for the South East, South West and London at 8am on Tuesday, lasting until 6pm on Saturday.
National Rail warned the cold climate would affect various routes on northern train services until at least 2pm on Tuesday. Mersey Rail issued an alert warning passengers that due to the potential of snow and ice covering tracks, the first service on each line in north-west England would run without customers to ensure conditions could be checked.
National Highways also sent out a severe amber weather alert for snow, with the M1 in Leeds and Sheffield, the M56 in Manchester, junction 39 of the M6 and junctions 21-23 of the M62 likely to see disruption.
The Met Office, which described the conditions as âthe first taste of winterâ, said 5-10cm of snow would prove disruptive in England, with Derbyshire being the area most likely to be affected.

In a very rare sighting together, Donald Trump and Joe Biden have met in the Oval Office as both men prepare for a transition of presidential power.
Why America voted for Trump (again) âș https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxgTa...
No such meeting happened after Biden won election in 2020, because Trump refused to acknowledge his victory, and instead tried to prevent him from taking office.
Biden and Trump have spent the past four years denouncing each other, but the president quickly reached out to set up a meeting with the Republican after he won last Tuesdayâs election.
The long history of mudslinging in the US âș https://youtu.be/MH2yL5cLvyo
The press was only let into the room for about a minute, but could hear Trump and Biden interact.
âWeâre looking forward to having, like we said, a smooth transition, do everything we can make sure youâre accommodated, what you need, and weâre going to get a chance to talk about some of that today. Welcome, welcome back,â Biden said to Trump.
âAnd politics is tough, and itâs, many cases, not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate very much a transition thatâs so smooth, itâll be as smooth as it can get. And I very much appreciate that, Joe,â Trump replied.
