This Blog's History: What is a Brown Dwarf?

This Blog's History

Starting several years ago, every Friday I link back to a previous post I wrote. Why? I may be biased, but I think there's quite a bit of good, exciting science I post on this blog, and I like to revisit these old posts. Plus it is a way for new readers to see many of the cool science experiments I've done with my kids in the past without reading the blog from day one, which was over 1,000 posts ago!

What is a Brown Dwarf?

The term 'dwarf' is used a lot in astronomy to describe many different types of stars. A Brown Dwarf is an object that didn't quite become a star. It fell short of being large enough to fuse hydrogen to helium in the core. There's much more to it, but that is a very basic description of a Brown Dwarf.
