Beauty and Beast
25 Mar 2023Diedericque
Wolf-Rayet stars are beautifully purple.I am not sure how everyone thinks about it, but those stars with their brilliant colors stand out as the best to me.
Their size makes them true beasts, sometimes even larger than most red giants. Therefor we should honor them as the kings of the beasts.
But is the color that catches the eye, usually they can easily be spotted while plotting a route through the galaxy. People often seek for these bright jewels as their true beauty lands on all planetary bodies.
Planets, regardless of their atmosphere, get that purple reflection making you feel perhaps wondering in another galaxy.
Also the total count of planetary bodies around Wolf-Rayet stars can be very high. And the bodies that you find have great variations.
I often find the sign of true planetary love, the valentine gas giant! Or mention HEN 2-23, where purple remains king!
Although now I think of it, not all Wolfs are that purple. I even found one that appeared to be entirely black, so black that space itself showed more light.
This one was dead, about 65 degrees Kelvin, cold but still in existence as a beast.
I can only imagine that if the Elite community ever manages to discover a large portion in the Milky Way, those Beauties and Beasts are on the frontier of discovery...
...and the secrets they hold.
