Astronomers also aren't ruling out the possibility that it's a brown dwarf, an object that's between a planet and a star. The latest research builds on existing observations by NASA's Hubble and ...

These objects were studied as part of an effort to explore the lowest mass limit of brown dwarfs within the Flame Nebula. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Michael Meyer (University of Michigan) In this Webb ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope can pierce this dense, dusty region and see the faint infrared glow from young brown dwarfs. A team of astronomers used this capability to explore the lowest mass ...

"The goal of this project was to explore the fundamental low-mass limit of the star and brown dwarf formation process." The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has probed deep into the dusty shroud ...
