Dust Shells around WR 140 from Webb
The Webb Space Telescope captured these intricate dust shells around WR 140, a Wolf-Rayet star in a binary system 6,000 light-years away. Wolf-Rayet stars are known for their strong stellar winds, which create and disperse heavy elements like carbon. The shells are likely formed by the interaction of winds from both stars.
