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 James Webb Space Telescope is investigating the Flame Nebula, hunting for "failed stars" to better understand how brown dwarfs form and evolve.
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 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.
