Wolf-Rayet stars are evolved, massive stars that have shed their outer layers, revealing a hot and dense core. WR 136 is no exception, displaying strong stellar winds that propel material into space. These winds create a nebula around the star, contributing to the surrounding interstellar environment.

The binary nature of WR 136 adds another layer of interest. The companion star, which is not a Wolf-Rayet star, orbits the primary star, influencing its evolution and contributing to the dynamics of the system.
