After decades of searching, astronomers discovered the first definite brown dwarf only ten years ago. Now, a new analysis of Hubble Space Telescope data implies our Galaxy has almost as many of these failed stars as it does normal stars like the Sun.
The Sun and most other stars power themselves by...

The Oldest Brown Dwarf Most of the halo stars previously known are members of stellar aggregates called globular clusters. Recently, however, large deep sky surveys have improved our knowledge on old halo stars living outside those clusters. Halo stars with masses from 10 times to only a few tenth...

NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, has eyed its first cool brown dwarf: a tiny, ultra-cold star floating all alone in space. WISE is scanning the whole sky in infrared light, picking up the glow of not just brown dwarfs but also asteroids, stars and galaxies. It has sent millions of...
