James Webb Space Telescope, Flame Nebula

Space photo of the week: James Webb telescope's view of the Flame Nebula is a 'quantum leap' forward for astronomers
Trained on the spectacular Flame Nebula, the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes went hunting for the smallest stars in the universe.
This astronomer found a sneaky extra star in James Webb Space Telescope data
As Bajaj puts it: "These James Webb Space Telescope data sets are so beautiful."
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 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.

"The goal of this project was to explore the fundamental low-mass limit of the star and brown dwarf formation process."
