Rare Quadruple Star System Could Unlock Mystery of Brown Dwarfs

These Rare Star Systems Are A New Tool To Understand Brown Dwarfs

The discovery of an extremely rare quadruple star system could significantly advance our understanding of brown dwarfs, astronomers say. Brown dwarfs in wide binary orbits offer a chance to determine their properties more clearly.

Rare quadruple star system could unlock mystery of brown dwarfs

The exciting discovery of an extremely rare quadruple star system could significantly advance our understanding of brown dwarfs, astronomers say. These mysterious objects are too big to be considered a planet but also too small to be a star because they lack the mass to keep fusing atoms and blossom into fully-fledged suns.

Astronomers discover rare four-star system just 82 light-years away

Astronomers have made an extraordinary discovery that could change the way we understand some of the most puzzling objects in the universe: brown dwarfs. These so-called “failed stars” are larger than planets but too small to shine like stars, and they’ve long baffled scientists. Now, researchers have identified a rare quadruple star system that includes […] The post Astronomers discover rare four-star system just 82 light-years away appeared fi…

This 4-star system lies 82 light-years away: What's so special?
