Lior Shamir, a computer scientist in the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering at Kansas State University, published a study of James Webb Space Telescope images that suggests astronomers should factor the Milky Way's rotational velocity in observations of deep space galaxies.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has identified free-floating brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula, some as small as two to three times Jupiter’s mass. The study explores the lower mass limits of star formation and fragmentation,

University of Arizona astronomers have learned more about a surprisingly mature galaxy that existed when the universe was just less than 300 million years old—just 2% of its current age.
