Very Large Telescope Reveals Low-Mass Bodies in Orion Nebula
The HAWK-I IR instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) has been used to produce the deepest and most comprehensive view of the Orion Nebula to date. The striking images reveal an abundance of faint brown dwarfs and isolated planetary-mass objects, and the presence of such low-mass bodies provides insight into the history of star formation within the nebula itself.
