NASA James Webb Space Telescope finds a fascinating brown dwarf 19x bigger than Jupiter

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been serving up all kinds of fascinating new discoveries from deep space ever since its launch. Now, it has captured images of a brown dwarf which carries silicate particles in its atmosphere. Now, the deep analysis of the image by astronomers described the analysis of the brown dwarf and its unique atmosphere in the arXiv preprint server paper, which mentioned that the observed brown dwarf is approximately 72 light years away. However, the brown dwarf named VHS 1256-1257 b was first detected in 2015. Astronomers say that it is roughly 19 times that of Jupiter, but is still in its young age.

But what are these brown dwarfs? Are they planets or stars? Or intriguingly, something in-between. NASA shed light on this and says, "Brown dwarfs are more massive than planets but not quite as massive as stars. Generally speaking, they have between 13 and 80 times the mass of Jupiter. A brown dwarf becomes a star if its core pressure gets high enough to start nuclear fusion." In simpler words, brown dwarfs are space objects that have failed to become stars simply because they were not big enough. However, they begin their journey as a star, but can't build enough hydrogen to initiate a fusion reaction. And that's why they do not grow to the size of stars, hence they are called brown dwarfs.

Although the temperature and pressure are far lower than those in stars, brown dwarfs can fuse deuterium. Space scientists can detect them because they emit heat and light as well, usually by observing infrared wavelengths. And it just so happens that the James Webb Telescope was made to examine objects in the infrared spectrum.

Earlier images of the new dwarf showed a reddish hue to its atmosphere, which
