A star massive ends his days as supernova. Before this, some go through a brief stage called Wolf Rayet (WR), which is difficult to observe, but a space telescope James Webb He managed to do this with unprecedented precision.
star is WR124, located 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius, has a mass thirty times that of the sun, and has so far erupted matter equivalent to ten suns. In eyes James Webb It is shown as an explosion of golden, pink, and purple cosmic gas and dust.
Beautiful but scary photo
The infrared light in which the telescope observes allows us to see the characteristic halo of gas and dust framing the star, showing the knotted structure and history of episodic emissions. POT this is a statement.
Despite the fact that this is the place of imminent stellar “death”, astronomers also look at the stars. Wolf-Rayet in search of new beginnings, because in the turbulent nebulae surrounding them, cosmic dust is formed, which consists of the heavy elements that make up the modern Universe.
during the phase Wolf Rayetwho will give way supernova, star separate from the outer layers, forming characteristic halos of gas and dust.
But this is a very short period and not all stars pass through it, so new observations are very valuable for astronomers.
Now it’s gonna be a supernova
As the exhaust gas moves away from star and cools, space dust is formed that can survive the explosion supernova.
This dust is an essential part of how the universe works, harboring stars as they are created, coming together to help form planets, and serving as a platform for molecules, including the building blocks of life on Earth, to form and assemble.
Despite the many important functions that dust performs, there is more to the universe than current theories of its formation can explain.
James Webb It opens up new possibilities for a detailed study of cosmic dust, which was previously difficult due to the lack of information about its characteristics, which can now be studied on real data. EFE
