Featured paperResolving the heart of the Wolf-Rayet binary Apep with ALMA

Some huge stars blow strong winds into space. Scientists looked at a star system called Apep and saw one of two special stars, but not the other. They also saw a stretched-out glow, probably where the winds crash together. Their calculations suggest the stars lose less material than people thought before.
