Are brown dwarfs bound to go the way of midget pickles?

Where are the outraged PC police?

I have to wonder if there are some brown dwarfs hiding out there that are a LOT closer which would explain the comets being kicked into the solar system lately...

I think if there was a small brown dwarf system less than or around 1 LY away it could prove to be a great test bed location for an interstellar probe shakedown cruise in the future...

I can’t imagine that brown dwarfs would have planets even remotely like what we would consider habitable.

Great post.

Thank you for sharing it.

They must produce light or we wouldn’t be able to see them. Jupiter does not produce its own light but reflects light from the sun.

Both stars in the new binary system are "brown dwarfs," which are stars that are too small in mass to ever become hot enough to ignite hydrogen fusion. As a result, they are very cool and dim...

Name the first one "John" and the other "Lyndsey".
