Webb shows that STAR WR 124 looks phenomenal with its powerful infrared instruments. This star was 15,000 light years away.

Stars like WR 124 also serve as an analog to help astronomers understand an important period in the early history of the universe. Such dying stars first gave preference to heavy elements in the young universe. Elements that are now common in the present era including the Earth.
