This image which is a two-pane mosaic, shows the intense Nebulosity of the Cygnus area with two unusual hot energetic Wolf-Rayet stars. The Crescent Nebula ( the brain-like Object on the left surrounds WR 136) and the less catchily named WR134 on the right.
There’s a lot going on in this region, and also below the Crescent Nebula you can see the very faint (only discovered in 2008) soap bubble nebula.
Wolf-Rayet stars are highly evolved massive energetic stars that have started to run out of hydrogen fuel and are fusing heavier elements. WR134 is around 400,000 times the luminosity of our sun!.
