So, chalk this one up to a "Gee Whiz" moment, but apparently astonomers have found a brown dwarf star that is only slightly warmer than a cup of joe.
That's right, the star is just a touch under 212 degrees F and 100 degrees C. Which, for me anyway, is pretty darn cool... (ha, I have punned).
Basically, a brown dwarf is considered a failed star because it's gravity is/was never strong enough to cause nuclear fission. Now, that you know this, what are you going to do with the information?
Good question...
