Betelgeuse's surface has been photographed and monitored since at least 1974, and still remains one of only a handful of stars whose surface features are known by direct imaging (all of whom are end-of-life supergiants). This may be Hubble's first direct image of Betelgeuse, but it's hardly the first by any means.

How is it that Hubble can take such breathtaking detailed images of things that are way farther away from Earth than Betelgeuse, however when it takes an image of Betelgeuse or anything closer it just looks like a blob? That has always bothered me, and it always will. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but my spidey sense always goes off when I see things like this, or how all UFO videos and pictures are blurry as well.
