A team of astronomers recently tapped into JWST’s capabilities to explore the smallest objects in the Flame Nebula.

Astronomers used the powerful James Webb Space Telescope to sleuth out some of these objects, called brown dwarfs, in a ...

A team of researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to uncover new details about SIMP 0136, a free-floating planet in ...

Such structures are termed "feeding filaments" because they feed the gaseous material from the surroundings to the newly born star, akin to cosmic umbilical cords. Brown dwarfs are celestial ...

"The goal of this project was to explore the fundamental low-mass limit of the star and brown dwarf formation process." The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has probed deep into the dusty shroud ...

Astronomers also aren't ruling out the possibility that it's a brown dwarf, an object that's between a planet and a star. The latest research builds on existing observations by NASA's Hubble and ...

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. Brown dwarfs, often called "failed stars," over ...

Traveling unpredictably through the cosmos, the mass is thought to be either a rogue planet or a "failed star," also known as a brown dwarf. Only a close examination of the body's atmosphere will ...
