Resumen de Fallen star? Lonely planet?: Best of all worlds

Sarah Cruddas

  • Cruddas talks about the astronomical objects. As if space wasn't lonely enough, pity the brown dwarf. Compared with their stellar siblings, these astronomical objects are something of a failure. And while they have much in common with planets, they don't seem to fit in there either. This awkward status as cosmic in-between means brown dwarfs are often overshadowed by their flashier counterparts, such as alien worlds or fiery supernovae. Yet not fitting in is precisely what makes brown dwarfs far more interesting and useful than people once thought. As new evidence of these celestial outcasts emerges, they are challenging people's ideas about the differences between planets and stars.
