"Luhman found the brown dwarfs temperature to be between –54° and 9° Fahrenheit (–48° to –13° Celsius).

So how do we warm it up? And how bad is the gravity going to be.

With a mass of only 3-10 Jupiters, it may not even qualify as a brown dwarf. There are exoplanets larger than that. But no one has really set any rules yet.

Seventh closest at 7 light years distant? What are the other six? (Are they counting the gas giants in our system?)

>> Brown dwarfs emerge

When they emerge from their burrow if they see their shadow there’s six more weeks of winter.

Brown dwarf? Sounds racist to me.

I thought the word “dwarf” was outlawed?
