ALMA Radio Telescope Delivers Its Highest Resolution Image Yet Submillimeter-wave emission from the stellar surface is shown in orange, and hydrogen cyanide maser emissions at 891 GHz are shown in blue. The observations show that a ring-like gas structure surrounds the star and that gas from the star is escaping to the surrounding space.
