NASA’s Webb telescope detects the first potential brown dwarfs outside our galaxy

October 24, 2024

Mariella Moon

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, for instance, detected a “rich population of brown dwarf candidates” outside our own galaxy for the first time. The…
