Gadget– International scientists recently discovered a brown star that emits heat far exceeding the heat emitted by the sun.
This brown star is located about 1,400 light years from Earth. This discovery was made by an international team of astronomers led by astrophysicist Na’ama Hallakoun from the Weizmann Institute of Science.
This brown star has an orbit very close to its host star, so it absorbs a lot of heat from the star.
This causes the temperature of this brown star to become very hot, so that it can melt the molecules in its atmosphere.
For comparison, the temperature of the sun is 5,778 Kelvin.
Previously, NASA described brown stars as small, low-mass stars that “failed.” Brown stars are often referred to as the “missing link” between gas giant planets and stars.
These celestial bodies are often difficult to observe because they emit low light and energy. In fact, they were virtually undetectable until the late 1980s.
