Nasa’s James Webb Space telescope has spotted a rare and tumultuous sight 15,000 light-years away from Earth, capturing an image of a Wolf-Rayet star called WR 124 in the Sagittarius constellation.<br /><br />Wolf-Rayet stars are some of the most luminous and massive stars in the universe and some briefly become a Wolf-Rayet before they explode in a supernova, so it’s rare for astronomers to spot them.<br /><br />The Webb telescope glimpsed WR 124 in June 2022 and the new image reveals unprecedented details in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.
