Webb Finds Phosphorus-Bearing Gas in an Ancient Brown Dwarf
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected phosphine (PH₃) in the atmosphere of the ancient brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, about 54 light-years away in Cygnus. This marks the first confirmed detection of a phosphorus-bearing gas in such a metal-poor object. The finding surprises astronomers, as phosphine was previously undetected in similar brown ...

James Webb Space Telescope Detects Phosphine on Brown Dwarf Wolf 1130C
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have detected phosphine gas in the atmosphere of the brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, about 54 light-years away. The finding suggests phosphine can form in extreme, non-biological environments, challenging its status as a potential biomarker and reshaping how scientists search for alien life.

Scientists Say Dark Matter Could Turn Failed Stars Into ‘Dark Dwarfs’
Astronomers suggest that brown dwarfs—dim, failed stars—could transform into “dark dwarfs” by capturing dark matter in their cores. When dark matter particles annihilate, they release heat, potentially lighting up these stars. Physicist Jeremy Sakstein and researchers like Jillian Paulin and Rebecca Leane support this idea, which could help...

Astronomers Detect Methane in the Atmosphere of the Nearest T Dwarf Star to Earth
Astronomers have detected methane in the nearest known T dwarf, offering new insight into its atmospheric composition. The study further highlights that the carbon abundance in the planet is estimated to be -1.5 dex, while the effective temperature could be around 1,000 K. The author of the paper further revealed that the low metallicity of the T ...

James Webb Space Telescope Observes Mysterious Rogue Planet-Like Object
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new insights into SIMP 0136, a planetary-mass object floating freely around 20 light-years away. This celestial body, possibly a rogue planet or a brown dwarf, has puzzled astronomers for years. JWST’s infrared observations have revealed intricate cloud layers, temperature shifts, and potential chemical...

Paradise OTT Release Date: When and Where to Watch it Online?
Paradise, the new thriller series created by Dan Fogelman, has made its debut with the first episode released early on Disney+ Hotstar in India. The show stars Sterling K. Brown as Xavier Collins, a Secret Service agent, and James Marsden as former U.S. President Cal Bradford. The plot follows a shocking murder investigation set in a peaceful, aff...

James Webb Space Telescope Reveals Unique Features of Westerlund 1 Star Cluster
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured groundbreaking images of Westerlund 1, a supermassive star cluster located 12,000 light-years away. The new findings offer a closer look at star formation processes, particularly the discovery of brown dwarfs, and highlight the role of energetic radiation in shaping planetary environments.

James Webb Telescope Uncovers First Possible Brown Dwarfs Beyond Milky Way
The James Webb Space Telescope has possibly identified brown dwarfs beyond the Milky Way for the first time, offering new insights into how stars formed in the early universe. Located in the star cluster NGC 602 within the Small Magellanic Cloud, these “failed stars” may help explain star formation under early cosmic conditions. This discovery,...

Astronomers Successfully Detect Brown Dwarfs in a Distant Star Cluster
For the first time, astronomers have detected brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way in the star cluster NGC 602, situated approximately 200,000 light-years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Utilising the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team sought young brown dwarf candidates in an environment that resembles the early universe, with limited h...
