The first “failed star” ever discovered has been a weird outlier since it was found nearly 30 years ago. New observations show that it is unusually massive because it isn’t a single star after all ...

Brown dwarfs are intriguing stellar objects. These planets aren’t big enough to turn into stars, but they’re just too big to be regular planets. Additionally, brown dwarfs can produce their ...

Both teams captured clearer pictures of what the double brown dwarf was doing through newer, higher-resolution telescopes. How and why the twins formed is still a mystery. Some theories say brown ...

WASHINGTON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - In 1995, astronomers confirmed the discovery for the first time of a brown dwarf, a body too small to be a star and too big to be a planet - sort of a celestial tweener.

"This information will help us fill in the gaps in our knowledge of how brown dwarfs form and their relationship to stars and planets." ...
