Coldest 'Missing Link' Brown Dwarf Discovered



QuoteBrown dwarfs are strange celestial objects. They're not stars, they're not planets, yet they exhibit characteristics of both. And now astronomers using NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have discovered the coolest of a cool class of brown dwarfs, potentially providing some answers as to what makes a planet and what makes a star...

Another scientific prediction is confirmed. These objects will be some of the longest lived in the Universe and could well be considered immortal.

Oooh, that's super interesting. In other news, brown dwarfs are now gods. XD

Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

"I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn't mend our wounds.

If the core is still warm, maybe it can be hollowed out into a small Dyson Sphere (small in this case still being kind of big).
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

A black hole would, if encountered, put a somewhat negative spin on the immortality though...  :-\
