The Brown Dwarfs of Orion's Trapezium
The bright stars in the photo are the heart of the Trapezium, an open star cluster in the Orion Nebula. The many dim objects are brown dwarfs and free-floating planets. Brown dwarfs are stars too small to fuse hydrogen in their cores. Many more of them have been found in Orion than hot stars.
