Peanut-shaped yellow hyper-giant star found!
The star is called HR 5171 A and it's actually two stars orbiting each
other, where one star touches the atmosphere of the other one. That's how it gets its peanut shape. Companion star would be HR 5171 B, of course. There's a video in this link that shows what the two stars might look like.
