Webb Reveals the Secrets of the Flame Nebula – Are These the Universe’s Smallest Stars?

This artist's concept shows what the isolated planetary-mass object SIMP 0136 could look like based on recent observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and previous observations from Hubble, Spitzer, and numerous ground-based telescopes. Researchers used Webb's NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) to measure subtle changes in the brightness of infrared light as the object completed two 2.4-hour rotations. By analyzing the change in brightness of different wavelengths over time, they were able to detect variability in cloud cover at different depths, temperature variations in the upper atmosphere, and changes in carbon chemistry as different sides of the object rotated in and out of view. This illustration is based on Webb's spectroscopic observations. Webb has not captured a direct image of the object. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and Joseph Olmsted (STScI)

The Planet That Roams Alone: Webb’s Stunning Discovery of SIMP 0136’s Chaotic Atmosphere

This is an 80-million-pixel picture of the star cluster RCW 38, located 5500 light-years away in the constellation Vela. RCW 38 is a young cluster containing about 2000 stars, and is bursting with star-forming activity. The picture was taken with ESO's Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA), operating in Chile's Atacama Desert. It shows a mixture of gas, dust and stars, creating an extravagant, yet spectacular landscape. As VISTA observes infrared light, it is able to peer through most of the dust in this region, which would block our view when observing in visible light. Behind the dust, VISTA is showing young stars within dusty cocoons and cold 'failed' stars known as brown dwarfs, thus revealing the secrets within these young stellar nurseries.
