NASA’s Webb Peers Deeper into Mysterious Flame 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 will never be able to fuse hydrogen like full-fledged stars—brown dwarfs
Flame Nebula in visible and infrared light | ESA Webb 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 will never be able to fuse hydrogen like full-fledged stars—brown dwarfs
Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) - Constellation Guide The Flame Nebula contains a young open star cluster with about 800 members Most of these stars are newly formed 86% of them still have circumstellar disks, from which planets may form in the future
Flame Nebula - Wikipedia The dense gas and dust in the foreground of the nebula heavily obscures the star cluster inside the nebula, making studies at infrared wavelengths most useful The energetic ultraviolet light emitted by the central O-type star IRS 2b into the Flame Nebula causes the gas to be excited and heated
Flame Nebula Images Show Star Formation Turnover for the First Time The target of this search was NGC 2024 (the Flame Nebula), a star-forming region that is less than 1 million years old, just 1,300 light-years away, and suffused with thick clouds of dust NGC 2024’s extreme dustiness was actually a plus for this investigation
