WR 119 is a Wolf–Rayet star located about 10,500 light years away in the constellation Scutum. WR 119 is classified as a WC9 star, belonging to the late-type carbon sequence of Wolf-Rayet stars. WR 119 is noteworthy for being the least luminous known Wolf-Rayet star, at just over 50,000 L☉.[3] The most recent estimate is even lower, at just 42,700 L☉, based on the most recent analysis using Gaia DR2 data.[4]
