James Webb captures a stunning view of dreamy 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.
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.
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.”
