ESO Science Release eso1110 - A Very Cool Pair of Brown Dwarfs
For your convenience the first paragraph of the release is provided below:
Observations with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope,
along with two other telescopes, have shown that there is a new candidate for
the coldest known star: a brown dwarf in a double system with about the
same temperature as a freshly made cup of tea — hot in human terms, but
extraordinarily cold for the surface of a star. This object is cool enough to
begin crossing the blurred line dividing small cold stars from big hot planets.
The release, images and videos are available on:
