Skywatchers are familiar with the Flame Nebula, a region of intense star formation about 1,400 light-years away. It's less than a million years old, and the region is filled with failed stars: brown dwarfs. Now, compare JWST's infrared view to Hubble's images of the Flame Nebula. Seen in infrared, we can peer through the gas and dust that shroud the region, revealing the smaller knots where young stars and brown dwarfs are forming.
