Planets orbiting white dwarfs may have conditions suitable for life. While these stellar remnants no longer generate their energy, their rapidly shrinking habitable zones could still provide enough time and…
A white dwarf star, located approximately 1,700 light-years away from Earth, was observed to be shrinking while continuing to steal stellar material from its companion star. Known as RX J0648.0–4418,…
Astronomers have identified brown dwarfs in the star cluster NGC 602, located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, approximately 200,000 light-years from Earth. This discovery marks the first time brown dwarfs…
For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have discovered brown dwarfs—known as "failed stars"—outside our Milky Way. This finding offers a fresh view into star formation…
