This Hubble Space Telescope image showcases WR 124, a Wolf-Rayet star, enveloped by a luminous nebula. The brilliant central star illuminates the surrounding material, creating a vibrant orange glow punctuated by dark, wispy patches of dust and gas. This nebula, formed by the powerful stellar winds ejected from WR 124, reveals the star's dynamic interaction with its environment. The image captures the complex structure and turbulent nature of the nebula, highlighting the distinct features of this massive, evolved star against the backdrop of a dark cosmos speckled with distant stars.
