The James Webb Space Telescope has just uncovered multiple free-floating brown dwarfs in the IC 348 star cluster! 🌌 These mysterious objects are larger than most planets but too small to be stars. Three of these brown dwarfs, circled in the image, weigh less than eight times the mass of Jupiter—and the tiniest one is rewriting theories with a mass as low as 3-4 times Jupiter's!

🌠 Marvel at the wonders of space, from the star-forming region to the interstellar material creating this celestial spectacle. This discovery challenges what we thought we knew about star formation.

This artist’s impression shows the disc of gas and cosmic dust around a brown dwarf.

Rocky planets are thought to form through the random collision and sticking together of what are initially microscopic particles in the disc of material around a star. These tiny grains, known as cosmic dust, are similar to very fine soot or sand. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have for the first time found that the outer region of a dusty disc encircling a brown dwarf — a star-like object, but one too small to shine brightly like a star — also contains millimetre-sized solid grains like those found in denser discs around newborn stars. The surprising finding challenges theories of how rocky, Earth-scale planets form, and suggests that rocky planets may be even more common in the Universe than expected.

Hello, we can find other types of rain not only on other planets, but also on moons and even brown dwarfs.

For example because of the high temperature some brown dwarfs can raining molten-iron.

and there is also rain of hydrocarbons (methane and liquid ethane) on Saturn’s moon Titan.

We can also mention diamond rain in Neptune, sulfuric acid rain on Venus and rain of glass on the exoplanet HD 189733b.

Below I will leave some links to that:

Brown Dwarf Outpost:

A Brown Dwarf system in the outskirts of the Empyrean galaxy that serves as an outpost for the Chrononite Empire. The system consists of a ringed brown dwarf named Pravum and an orbiting terrestrial planet the size of Mars named Portem. Due to its great distance from any other colonised systems and lack of notable natural qualities, this system is of little interest to the empire and receives weak governance as a result, making it one of the most liberal places within the Empyrean galaxy. The system has become a safe haven for those who would be persecuted elsewhere in the galaxy, which remains unknown to the Chrononites, as the larger empire rarely bothers to check in on its torpid outermost colony.
