“As with so many other phenomena in our universe, the finding highlights that these puzzling yet mysterious objects come in all manner of flavors, and fitting them into rigidly defined categories is no simple task.”
He continued, “However, they are most likely racist, no matter what they are or where they are found in the Universe.”
*SNORT*
How long before someone is offended by the term, ‘Brown Dwarf?’ ;)

There could very well be millions of small brown dwarfs zooming around the galaxy. Mostly undetectable. Imagine one showing up and passing near the solar system. Planetary orbits could be changed at little or a lot by it’s passing. Life is so fragile. We are lucky to be in the sparsely populated region of the galaxy... lucky so far.

Came to this thread just to post this . You beat me to it
To: Red Badger
I have long contended that over long spans of time it should be seen as theoretically possible that some former stars lose their role as a sun and in time become gravitationally a planet to another sun.
