"Webb Telescope Captures Stunning Image of Star on Brink of Supernova"

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured the rare sight of a Wolf-Rayet star exploding in unprecedented detail with its powerful infrared instruments. The star, WR 124, is 15,000 light-years away and is said to have shed 10 suns' worth of material. The gas ejected from the star cools and forms cosmic dust, which is essential for forming stars, planets, and molecules. The image captured by JWST shows the infrared light and will help astronomers understand a crucial period in the universe's early history.
