WR 120 is a binary containing two Wolf-Rayet stars in the constellation of Scutum, around 10,000 light years away.

[8] From our point of view, WR 120 is reddened by 4.82 magnitudes, and it has the variable designation of V462 Scuti.

[9] Analysis of the primary's spectrum with PoWR shows that it has a temperature of around 50,000 Kelvins, and is losing mass at a rate of 10−4.9 M☉/year, or 1 solar mass every 80,000 years, which is being carried away from the surface at a speed of 1,225 kilometres per second.

[4] Taking its close distance into account, WR 120 A's luminosity turns out to be a mere 83,200 L☉, which would make it one of the dimmest WN stars known, and one of the only WN stars with a luminosity below 100,000 L☉.

[4] WR 120 is thought to be a member of Dolidze 33, an open cluster nearly 3,000 pc away.
