Unexpected Discovery: Wolf-Rayet Stars Create Dust That Lasts for Centuries!

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made an incredible discovery—long-lived dust shells around multiple Wolf-Rayet stars! These stars, nearing the end of their life cycles, have been shown to contribute to the creation of carbon-rich dust that survives for centuries. This discovery challenges what we thought we knew about cosmic dust, shedding new light on the role of Wolf-Rayet stars in shaping future star and planet systems.
