Mark McCaughrean | ICYMI, the NASA/ESA/CSA # JWST spent 8 hours pointing at the Orion Nebula & Trapezium Cluster last night. We were using the European-led NIRSpec instrument to get spectra of hundreds of very low-mass stars, brown dwarfs, & planetary-mass objects. This included some of the Jupiter-mass binary objects or JuMBOs we discovered in the JWST images we took in October 2022 & released last autumn. Another 11 hours of observations start at 14:15 UTC tomorrow 🙂👍 # SpaceScience # Astronomy # Astrodon
