Proplyds in Orion (IMAGE) Penn State Caption Infrared image of the center of the Orion Nebula taken with the NIRCam instrument on NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The insets show expanded images of two faint proplyds from the Hubble Space Telescope at optical wavelengths and Webb at infrared wavelengths. For each proplyd, a small protoplanetary disk is detected in silhouette in the optical image, which is surrounded by a bright ionization front that is produced by the intense UV radiation from the most massive stars. The brown dwarf at the center of each disk is detected in the infrared image from Webb. Spectroscopy from the NIRSpec instrument on Webb has confirmed that these objects are brown dwarfs based on their cool temperatures.
