Image of WR 124 star/Nebula (30x Sun's mass) during the Wolf-Rayet phase (has shed 10 suns worth of material) just before going supernova. Taken by MIRI and NIRCam on board of the James Webb Space Telescope, it is in the constellation Sagittarius, 15 000 light-years away. The cloudy structure of dust and gas is the material that was ejected all around the star. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team.
