Description

Wolf-Rayet star WR 134 and WR 135 seen in this picture, also known as HD 191765 and HD 192193, is a Wolf-Rayet stars located in the constellation Cygnus. These stars are known for their strong stellar winds and high surface temperatures. WR 134 is believed to be in a binary system and that the secondary component of the system may be a low-mass optical K-M star. 

It is suggested that the strong stellar wind from the WR stars combined with the interstellar medium are the source of the ring nebula visible in the picture.

Wolf-Rayet stars are typically not yellow. They are known for their bluish to almost purplish appearance. This color is a result of their extremely high surface temperatures, which can exceed 25,000 degrees Celsius (45,000 degrees Fahrenheit). At such high temperatures, they emit intense ultraviolet radiation, making them appear bluish.
