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 Space Telescope Reveals Mysterious Structures Encircling Planetary Nebula NGC 1514
Stunning James Webb Space Telescope images reveal new details about a pair of mysterious infrared rings around planetary nebula NGC 1514.
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.
James Webb Space Telescope discovers free-floating brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has identified free-floating brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula, some as small as two to three times Jupiter’s mass. The study explores the lower mass limits of star formation and fragmentation,

This butterfly-shaped nebula owes its structure to 2 chaotic young stars
Well, stars grow by accreting material from their immediate environs of a gravitationally collapsed cloud of molecular gas. Yet, paradoxically, they are able to spit some material back out in fast, ...
