Thanks for posting, but has someone other than MSNBC written about this? I refuse to click through to MSNBC.

4-7X bigger than Jupiter and ‘little planet’ is a big incongruous, but freeze me and send me. I don’t care if there is Avatar-level wildlife running the place, I want off this planet NOW.

Actually, sub-Brown Dwarfs, are also called "Gray Dwarfs". As such, they are white and have no special status.
