The Nebulous Realm of WR 134

Joint project by Rochus Hess and Bernd Wallner

WR134 - Wolf Rayet Star, surrounded by ring-shaped nebula structures.
This fascinating object is located in the constellation Cygnus, about 6,000 light-years away! The image is the result of a collaboration with my friend Bernd Wallner from Burghausen. WR 134 is a rare and extremely hot star in Cygnus, and the most striking feature is the spectacular ring-shaped nebulae. These emission nebulae, consisting of hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green), are created by the intense stellar wind of the star.WR 134 has five times the radius of the Sun, but due to its high temperature, it shines 400,000 times brighter!

NGC 4380, a rare example of a BL Lac object in a spiral galaxy - a beautiful one at that! - instead of an elliptical galaxy.
