The James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) captured imagery of a pair of stars called Wolf-Rayet 140. “Shells of cosmic dust created by the interaction of binary stars appear like tree rings around Wolf-Rayet 140,” according to NASA. MIRI’s ability to detect longest infrared wavelengths brought this image to fruition. Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, JPL-Caltech | edited by Steve Spaleta
