Brown dwarfs detected outside the Milky Way for the first time
Brown dwarf candidates discovered in star cluster NGC 602, revealing cosmic mysteries beyond the Milky Way with Webb and Hubble telescopes.
Webb finds candidates for first young brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way
Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy roughly 200,000 light-years from Earth, lies the young star cluster NGC 602. The local environment of this cluster is a close analog of what existed in the early universe,
Webb Telescope Spots First Brown Dwarfs Outside Our Galaxy
Astronomers have released a stunning new image captured with the James Webb Space Telescope, but this view of NGC 602 is more than a pretty picture. It also depicts the home of the first known population of brown dwarfs outside our galaxy.
Astronomy: Probably the first brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way discovered
For 30 years, celestial bodies have been discovered that have not made it to the stars – but so far only in the Milky Way. That seems to have changed now.
First Brown Dwarf Candidates Discovered Beyond Our Galaxy, 200,000 Light-Years From Earth
Enter JWST and its incredible sensitivity and resolution. The telescope was pointed at young stellar cluster NGC 602; located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, it is a neighboring galaxy visible from the Southern Hemisphere and is 200,000 light-years from Earth.
The Webb discovers a rich population of brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way
This stunning image of a star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is more than just a pretty picture. It’s part of a scientific effort to understand star formation in an environment different from ours.
Webb Telescope Might Have Discovered First Brown Dwarfs Outside The Milky Way
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the first brown dwarf star candidates outside the Milky Way. The European Space Agency (ESA) said that these candidates reside in the star cluster NGC 602 that lies on the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way, roughly 2,00,000 light-years from Earth.
NASA's Webb telescope detects the first potential brown dwarfs outside our galaxy
The James Webb Space Telescope is making it possible to detect more celestial objects we previously wouldn't be able to, including ones that can further our knowledge on how our universe began. A team of astronomers,
