"NASA's Webb Telescope Discovers Unexpected Aurorae on Brown Dwarf"
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered glowing methane emissions resembling aurora lights on a cold brown dwarf, W1935, located 47 light-years from Earth. This surprising find challenges previous assumptions about brown dwarfs, which are not planets or stars but form like stars without radiating starlight. Astronomers believe that internal processes or external interactions from active moons may account for the auroral emissions on this isolated brown dwarf, marking the first auroral candidate outside our solar system with a signature of methane and the coldest.
