A Wolf-Rayet Star System Has Been Spotted 8000 LY From Earth In Our Galaxy, The Milky Way. The Star System, Called Apep, Comprises 2 Massive Stars ( Each ~10 To 15X More Massive Than Our Sun) Orbiting Each Other. Wolf-Rayet Stars Are So Rare That 1 Out Of 100 Million Massive Stars Can Become One As A Star Approaches The End Of Its Life.
