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 James Webb Space Telescope is investigating the Flame Nebula, hunting for "failed stars" to better understand how brown dwarfs form and evolve.
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.
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.

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,
