"James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Mysterious Auroras on Isolated Brown Dwarf"
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected anomalous methane emissions from a mysterious isolated brown dwarf called W1935, larger than Jupiter, which lacks a host star to provide energy for such emissions. Astronomers believe the emissions could be due to auroral processes, similar to those seen on gas giants like Jupiter. This discovery challenges current understanding of how methane emissions are produced and raises questions about the source of the brown dwarf's eerie glow, possibly involving interstellar plasmas or an active moon. Further observations with the James Webb Space Telescope may provide more insight into this puzzling phenomenon.
