Image of the NGC 2244 core in the Rosette Nebula captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The image reveals a dense field of stars, including brown dwarfs and free-floating planetary-mass objects. The observation was made using the NIRCam instrument with filters: F115W, F335M, F150W-F162M, F140M, F182M, F144W, F360M, and F300M. This data is part of program #4545, led by Principal Investigator Mark McCaughrean. Credit: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/Jackie Branc.

Feeling under the weather🤧

But I can be grateful it's not *this* weather (an artist's rendition of weather on a brown dwarf)

A well-studied cold brown dwarf: WISE 1828+2650 with #JWST NIRCam (in the circle I did draw).

It is well-studied, but even with JWST it is still holding some secrets. Some results suggest it is a binary, other works find it to be single. #BrownDwarf
