The Space Telescope immediately recorded nine new brown dwarfs in the Perseus Nebula at a distance of 1000 light years from the ground.
The James Webba Space Telescope has discovered nine new brown dwarfs in the molecular cloud of Perseus – this is an active star formation region, located about 1000 light years from the world. This is reported by the publication of space.
Brown dwarfs are astronomical objects formed as stars, but there is not enough mass to start the thermonuclear synthesis of hydrogen. Sometimes they are called “failed stars.”
Among the new ones found are two very small things, the mass of which is only twice in Jupiter. This will challenge the previous ideas, according to which the minimum mass of brown dwarf should be at least 13 masses of Jupiter.
Another sensation: one of the dwarfs has a disk of dust and gas, similar to those forming planets. Astronomers believe that this thing can be a “construction site” for new worlds.
In addition, in the spectra of many dwarfs, traces of mysterious hydrocarbons – hydrogen and carbon compounds have been found, which to this day have been recorded only in the Saturn environment and its Titanium satellite. Their source in this part of the galaxy remains unknown and will be the subject of future research.
Earlier it was reported that astronomers recorded a new type of super -powerful space explosion.
