James Webb captures a stunning view of dreamy Flame Nebula

James Webb Space Telescope investigates the origins of 'failed stars' in the Flame Nebula
"The goal of this project was to explore the fundamental low-mass limit of the star and brown dwarf formation process."
James Webb captures a stunning view of the dreamy Flame Nebula
A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows a stunning and fashionable sight: the Sombrero Galaxy, named for its resemblance to the traditional Mexican hat. With its wide, flat shape reminiscent of the hat's wide brim, the galaxy, also known as Messier 104, has outer rings that are clearly visible for the first time.
James Webb telescope spots 'rogue' planet with a cake-like atmosphere barrelling through space without a star
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a 'rogue' cosmic object barrelling through our galaxy without a star, and covered in clouds of iron and magnesium minerals.
Webb peers deeper into mysterious Flame Nebula to find 'failed stars'
The Flame Nebula, located about 1,400 light-years away from Earth, is a hotbed of star formation less than 1 million years old. Within the Flame Nebula, there are objects so small that their cores will never be able to fuse hydrogen like full-fledged stars—brown dwarfs.
James Webb Space Telescope Reveals Mysterious Structures Encircling Planetary Nebula NGC 1514
Stunning James Webb Space Telescope images reveal new details about a pair of mysterious infrared rings around planetary nebula NGC 1514.
Webb telescope spots curious objects that aren't stars, or planets
Astronomers used the powerful James Webb Space Telescope to sleuth out some of these objects, called brown dwarfs, in a vibrant star-forming region of our galaxy called the Flame Nebula. Brown dwarfs are too small to trigger the nuclear engines in stars, but are more massive than most planets. They are unbound, free-flying objects in the universe.
Webb Telescope Unveils Elusive Brown Dwarfs in the Flame Nebula
The Flame Nebula, located 1,400 light-years from Earth, is a region where many stars are forming and is less than a million years old. Among these stars are “brown dwarfs,” also known as “failed stars.”
James Webb Space Telescope discovers free-floating brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has identified free-floating brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula, some as small as two to three times Jupiter’s mass. The study explores the lower mass limits of star formation and fragmentation,
