A Wolf-Rayet nebula is a type of nebula associated with Wolf-Rayet stars, which are hot, massive stars in a late stage of stellar evolution. These stars are characterized by strong stellar winds and high temperatures, leading to significant mass loss. The material expelled from these stars interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium, creating distinctive nebulous structures. Wolf-Rayet nebulae are often observed in the context of massive star-forming regions or the remnants of supernova explosions.
