There have been reports that scientists have captured the first close-up photo of an eclipse further away from the solar system.

It is said that Astronomers at the University of St. Andrews worked on a global study of the star Epsilon Aurigae, from the Auriga constellation.

Also, it has been said that every 27 years the star becomes diffused, and this is an occurrence which continues for two years.

The physicists united light from four telescopes in order to obtain the first image of the eclipse, which is said to be 140 times sharper than visuals from the Hubble telescope.

German astrologer Johann Fritsch, is said to be the first to observe the eclipse in 1821.

The research which was led by Brian Kloppenborg from the University of Denver had Dr. Ettore Pedretti and Dr. Nathalie Thureau, from St. Andrews.

Dr. Pedretti stated, "From the image, we can confirm that the eclipse of Epsilon Aurigae is caused by a thin disc of opaque dust trailed by a massive and unseen companion, like David, tiny particles of dust are able to kill the light of this 'Goliath' star".

Some of the optics for the light-combining system called optical interferometry, which was used to view the star, was designed by Dr Thureau.

The two intellectuals plan to structure the first group to construct instruments for optical and infrared interferometry in Scotland.
