Astronomers have captured a stunning photo of an incredibly rare and explosive pair of stars dubbed 'one of the peacocks of the stellar world'. 'The speeds of the stellar winds produced are just mind-blowing,' Han said. 'It likely means that stellar winds are launched in different directions at different speeds. The dust spiral is also expanding four times slower than the measured stellar winds – something unheard of in other systems. Colleagues from the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in Japan will soon publish a paper on another system, Wolf-Rayet 112.
