"The goal of this project was to explore the fundamental low-mass limit of the star and brown dwarf formation process." ...

A team of researchers are using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study the Flame Nebula, which is a […] ...

The world’s premier space observatory has spotted a mysterious and huge, free-floating planetary-mass object that’s “just 20 light-years from Earth,” NASA announced. Researchers recently used the ...

The Flame Nebula, located about 1,400 light-years away from Earth, is a hotbed of star formation less than 1 million years ...

The mass of these objects is less than 13 times that of Jupiter. They are often observed in young star clusters like the Trapezium Cluster in Orion. While their existence is well-documented ...

The search turned up free-floating objects roughly two to three times the mass of Jupiter. By "free-floating," astronomers mean objects that aren't orbiting a parent star. These could be stellar ...

Free-floating, planetary mass objects are bodies with around 13 times the mass of Jupiter that are often found drifting through young star clusters, such as the Trapezium Cluster in Orion.

Read between the lines, or swim in a sea of confusion! On Feb. 20, Mercury in Pisces will square Jupiter in Gemini, creating a cosmic clash between two very different energies — Mercury wants ...

and weigh less than 13 times the mass of Jupiter. While they have been spotted in abundance in young star clusters such as the Trapezium Cluster in Orion, their origin has puzzled scientists.

Their mass can be as low as two to three times the mass of Jupiter, a gas giant over 300 times more massive than Earth. (Webb could view smaller objects, but didn't find any.) "Webb, for the first ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of researchers has uncovered the hidden complexity of SIMP 0136, a free-floating planetary-mass object.

Like an ambiguous game of telephone, messages get lost in translation when Mercury squares Jupiter, and no one’s quite sure ...
