The attached image has been sent by the Hubble space telescope. In the constellation of Sagittarius belongs to the giant star Wolf-Rayet 124, located 15,000 light-years from us. The star emits disfigured energy and its atmosphere is also dispersed into space.

That is why it seems to be surrounded by nebulae, but this is only 10,000 years old. So the star Wolf-Rayet 124 has just been born. The giant star in her childhood has hardly been seen, since her life is hundreds of millions of years.
