James Webb Space Telescope image of Wolf-Rayet 140, showing at least 17 concentric rings of cosmic dust surrounding two orbiting stars. The dust shells resemble a fingerprint pattern against the dark backdrop of space, formed as the stellar winds from the stars interact and compress gas to create dust. The image reveals areas of varying brightness due to uneven dust formation.

Webb’s stunning new view reveals cosmic “fingerprints” around Wolf-Rayet 140! Image shows at least 17 dust rings created by the interaction of two massive stars orbiting each other. 🌀🔭 #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #NASA #SpaceFeed #Astronomy #WolfRayet140 Like, follow, share for latest Webb Discoveries.
