The luminous, hot star called Wolf-Rayet 124 was imaged by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Bright clumps of gas and dust appear like tadpoles swimming toward the star with tails streaming out behind them, blown back by the stellar wind. The surrounding nebula stretches about 10 light-years across. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO …
