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.
James Webb Space Telescope dives into the atmosphere of a mystery rogue planet or failed star
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered into the atmosphere of a cosmic body that could be a rogue planet or a "failed star." Either way, the world wanders the cosmos without a parent.
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.”
