Massive stars are key components of galaxies. Characterized by high luminosities and strong outflows, their evolution is strongly impacted by the amount of mass and angular momentum lost through stellar winds. While previously deemed smooth and spherically symmetric, the outflows of massive stars are now found to be inhomogeneous, i.e. clumpy. This severely hampers earlier estimates of the mass-loss rates of hot massive stars and the validity ...
