This James Webb Telescope's Discovery Had Astronomers Stumped

Space fans, rejoice! The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered something absolutely amazing – a star-planet hybrid with very strange clouds. This bizarre world, called VHS 1256 b, is actually a brown dwarf. Those are bigger than planets but too small to classify as stars. They emit some light of their own and are quite hot. Is the new discovery dangerous for us?
