See James Webb Space Telescope's view of Wolf-Rayet star WR 124 in stunning 4K

A 'prelude to a supernova' is how NASA describes this stunning new James Webb Space Telecope image of Wolf-Rayet Star WR 124. Travel 15,000 light years in this zoom-in to see the amazing look.

Unless the star won an Oscar for its "dying performance" most people are not going to know or care about it. As a physics professor, I'm not like most people, which is both fortunate and unfortunate. Smart ideas to talk over, but few people to hear about them.

@0:32 the wrong constellation (not"rius"); Variable star QR Sge (WR124) is in the constellation Sagitta (the arrow)!

What is the furthest point we can see without any obstruction from something else? Can we observe anything as it is 13.8B years ago?

Pour moi pilier de la creation et wolf-rayet star

This shed surface material is being described as being visible (in IR) “briefly” … a month? 100 years?

"Travel 15, 000 light years...."...? I googled searched "anything happened 15000 years ago?" And...yes "Finally, around 15, 000 years ago, humans crossed from Asia to North America and from there to South America.". WOW!

The mainstream media says that WR 124 is "on the brink" of becoming a supernova. Just how soon is "on the brink"? The clickbait headlines imply that the supernova will happen any day now. However, we all know that astronomical time scales are many orders of magnitude larger than human time scales. On an astronomical time scale, a process that takes thousands or even millions of years happens in virtually no time at all. On a human time scale, that's virtually forever.

My question is do these stars finally go supernova? Their outlayer was mostly blasted away from its core. There's no hydrogen

[JavierFernandez]

there is an unexplained anomaly in the photo. looks like a wheel within a wheel.
