Description:
Located in the rich star fields of Cygnus, WR 134 is a massive Wolf-Rayet star nearing the end of its life.
Powerful stellar winds streaming from the star interact with surrounding gas, creating a faint emission nebula known as the Wolf-Rayet Bubble. WR 134 sheds material at an extraordinary rate, enriching the interstellar medium with heavy elements forged deep within its core.
The star is expected to end its life in a spectacular supernova explosion.
