Astronomers have captured images of bubbles of gas 75 times the size of our Sun moving across a star 180 lightyears<\/a> away from Earth.<\/p>

This marks the first time such bubbles have been imaged on a star other than our Sun.<\/p>

The star in question is R Doradus, a red giant star 350 times as wide as the Sun that can be seen in the constellation Dorado.<\/p>
