The Flame Nebula, located about 1,400 light-years away ... of how Webb took the baton—decades of Hubble data from the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex—and enabled in-depth research.

A new Webb image shows a new view of the gorgeous Flame Nebula, an emission nebula located in the constellation of Orion. This nebula is a busy stellar nursery, with many new stars being formed there.

Previously, Hubble identified possible candidates in a region of the Flame Nebula called the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. Now, JWST has picked up the baton and completed what scientists called ...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope The Flame Nebula is part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, where cosmic objects like brown dwarfs reside. These objects are too small to sustain hydrogen fusion ...

Powerful jets and radiation winds from two protostars are slamming into the nebulosity around them, sculpting the nebula.

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 ...

That fuzzy splotch, visible to the naked eye when it is really dark (and easily seen through binoculars) is the Orion Nebula. Throughout the nebula (which is about 30 light years wide), we see a ...

This collage of images from the Flame Nebula shows a near-infrared view from the Hubble Space Telescope on the left, with infrared views from the James Webb Space Telescope in the insets. (Image ...

LBN 483 is particularly interesting in that it does not seem to be part of a larger star-forming region like the Orion Nebula ... of 'failed stars' in the Flame Nebula By studying the shape ...
