CaptainPanic Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 A twin star system of brown dwarves was found at only 6.5 lightyears away, meaning it is the 3rd closest star to our sun, after the Alpha Centauri system, and Bernard's Star. I think it's really exciting that such large bodies can still be found so close to our own solar system. What else is out there? Amazingly, someone has already made a wikipedia page on these brown dwarves... and I bet it will grow over the next couple of days. At the moment, it only has a bit of info on the type of brown drarves.
Ophiolite Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Very interesting. Clearly these brown dwarves deserve proper names. Thorin and Balin? 1
