Brown dwarfs are difficult to find because they are relatively small and faint, and often cooler in temperature. The Backyard Worlds project took advantage of the technology known as the "Mark 1 ...

When two stars, or in this case two brown dwarfs, orbit each other, it is called a binary system, like the fictional one in "Star Wars." The view by an observer from this planet, however, would be ...

Astronomers have discovered the weirdest planetary system ever seen, consisting of a planet rolling around rare binary "failed star" brown dwarfs at a 90-degree tilted angle!

Exoplanet found in odd perpendicular orbit to brown dwarf star pair An artist's impression of the exoplanet 2M1510 (AB) b's unusual orbit around a pair of brown dwarfs ESO/L. Calçada ...

The two brown dwarfs are gravitationally bound and orbit near to each other - as close as just 4% of the distance between Earth and the sun. The planet, named 2M1510 (AB) b, orbits around this pair.

This image, taken in visible light, shows 2M1510 AB, a pair of brown dwarfs orbiting each other. The two brown dwarfs, A and B, are seen as a single source. (Image credit: DESI Legacy Survey/D ...

Space Exoplanet found in odd perpendicular orbit to brown dwarf star pair It is rare to find brown dwarf stars orbiting in pairs, and this pair has an even more unusual exoplanet companion By ...
