As part of a systematic study of the environment of Galactic WR stars, a region along the line of sight to Cygnus (l=77.5°,b=0°) has been studied. The neutral hydrogen 21 cm line distribution shows the existence of a cavity expanding from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 143. This cavity, created by the stellar wind of the star, has a mean radius of 7 pc (assuming a distance of about 1 kpc), an expansion velocity of more than 8 km.s^–1, and a missing mass of some 150 M_☉ and seems to be surrounded by an H I shell, likely made up of the gas pushed by the star. Although this hole (also called bubble) is quite conspicuous in H I, there seems to be no trace of it at the other wavelengths studied (radio continuum and infrared). All radio observations were obtained at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory as part of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey.
