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 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.
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.”
