Blue Supergiant Star

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured an image of WR140, a distant extreme star system back in July, but the picture has stumped astronomers. WR140 is what’s called a Wolf-Rayet star. These are among the most extreme stars known. In a rare but beautiful display, they can sometimes emit a plume of dust into space stretching hundreds of times ...

Astronomers have discovered the farthest and oldest star ever seen, named Earendel. It shone about 900 million years after the Big Bang, and is estimated to be at least 50 times the mass of the Sun. Icarus, another blue supergiant star discovered by Hubble, held the previous record.

An Indian scientist and his Taiwanese colleague have discovered a blue super-giant star located in the constellation Virgo, far beyond our Milky Way Galaxy.
