One of the most truly spectacular objects in the entire sky is the celebrated Orion Nebula, a star-birth factory 1,300 light-years from Earth. It's so bright that it can be seen with the naked eye ...

JWST, however, can spot such objects easily in the Orion nebula. Even better, planetary-mass objects are hot when they’re born, cooling slowly over millions of years.

Observations by the James Webb Space Telescope show that a compact disk of gas and dust around a young star in the Orion Nebula is losing massive amounts of hydrogen each year.The disk, known as a ...
