This class of stars is named after the astronomers Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet, who first noticed the features of the spectra of such stars in 1867.
The James Webb Space Telescope took a picture of the Wolf-Ryet star, which is about 5,600 light-years away. This was reported by Science Alert.
In addition, thanks to Webb’s infrared eye, an unusual detail was captured: it was surrounded by concentric rings of light coming from outside.
The star is actually a pair of rare stars in the constellation Cygnus, and their interaction results in precise, periodic emissions of dust that expand in the shells around the pair over time, experts say. .
It was previously reported that NASA plans to launch an Artemis I rocket to the moon next Saturday.
