The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is shedding light on mysteries surrounding brown dwarfs, following decades of questions ...

DURING the night of September 30 I succeeded in photographing the bright part of the nebula in Orion in the vicinity of the trapezium. The photographs show the mottled appearance of this region ...

The Orion Nebula may be a familiar and well-studied celestial object, but new images from the James Webb Space Telescope ...

A new study by an international team of researchers, including a Penn State astronomer, used NASA's James Webb Space ...

A kind of super-massive version of the Orion Nebula, it’s is one hundred times larger and the biggest star-forming region in our part of the Universe. It’s so luminous that if it was as close ...

At just 1,400 light-years from Earth, the Orion Nebula, M42, is visible to the naked eye as a faint smudge Jupiter-sized "planets" free-floating in space, unconnected to any star, have been ...

Located about 1,300 light-years from Earth in the Orion B molecular cloud, the fiery Horsehead Nebula looks like a cosmic equine tossing its regal mane. In this JWST close-up of the nebula ...

Why it's so special: The Rosette Nebula is a big deal. At about 130 light-years across, it's roughly five times the size of the Orion Nebula — the closest star-forming region to Earth — and ...

Orion is one of the most familiar regions of the sky. It's a star-forming region, or nebula, about 1,350 light years from Earth. Here, Webb pictures a feature called the Orion Bar, which is a wall ...

"This information will help us fill in the gaps in our knowledge of how brown dwarfs form and their relationship to stars and planets." Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have ...

I didn’t want to love it. My plan for my first Meta Orion AR glasses experience was to dispassionately try them and quickly identify the highlights, shortcomings, and pitfalls of this not-ready ...

In the Orion Nebula, the brightest and most massive stars emit intense ultraviolet radiation that illuminates protoplanetary disks, allowing them to be photographed in unusual detail. The striking ...
