Wolf-Rayet 136
Wolf-Rayet 136 is a massive star located in the constellation Cygnus. It is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star, which means it has shed much of its outer hydrogen layer, exposing its hot helium-rich core. This star is known for its strong stellar winds and high temperatures, reaching up to 100,000 degrees Celsius.
The star is approximately 4,000 light-years away from Earth and is part of a binary system, possibly interacting with a companion star. Wolf-Rayet 136 is also a candidate for a future supernova explosion, contributing to the study of stellar evolution and the life cycles of massive stars.
