A la distancia de 5.600 años luz, en la constelación del Cisne, el telescopio James Webb ha revelado algo que la humanidad nunca había podido ver con tanta claridad: el registro visual de más de un siglo de colisiones entre dos estrellas extremas. El sistema binario WR 140 lleva milenios escribiendo su historia en anillos de polvo cósmico, y ahora, por primera vez, tenemos los ojos para leerla. Es un recordatorio de que el universo guarda sus archivos con paciencia infinita, esperando que desarrollemos los instrumentos necesarios para comprenderlos.
