SPHEREx spots menagerie of brown dwarfs with atmospheric water and methane
NASA's SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the universe, Epoch of Reionization, and ices Explorer) space telescope is shedding light on brown dwarfs, celestial objects that blur the line between stars and exoplanets. New findings published in The Astrophysical Journal show that these dark and cloudy worlds have chemically rich atmospheres not unlike the giant planets in our own solar system.

The NASA SPHEREx telescope locates thousands of brown dwarfs that roam the cosmos alone. A first team has analysed 37 of them in detail and has found atmospheres with water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane, according to the study published by The Astrophysical Journal. They are the objects that have been resisting a clean definition for three decades and now begin to be counted by thousands. They are called brown dwarfs and are exact…
Brown dwarfs are peculiar celestial bodies, considered transitions between stars and planets, which to this day hide many secrets. The post Mysterious Brown Dwarfs Observed by NASA's Space Telescope first appeared on 24.hu.
