Man, I don't know how to feel about this information: resolved imaging of stellar disks is from the 1880??!

So from the list on wikipedia, I guess they could just do that one star, and didn't learn very much beyond the radius?

What's the hottest results in the field of spatially resolved stellar observations?

The measurement was apparently made in 1920, not 1880s. Still surprising.
