M1-67 is an ejecta nebula that surrounds the Wolf–Rayet star WR 124, which is about 6.4 kpc from Earth[2] in the constellation of Sagitta. It contains dust which is caught up in WR 124's solar wind and which absorbs much of the star's light. It was discovered by American astronomer Paul W. Merrill in 1938,[3] at the same time that he discovered the star it surrounds. It is approximately 6 lightyears across, making it about 20,000 years old.
