Man, I love me some brown dwarfs. They are just the coolest (haha! ha!) objects. And this is one I actually studied and had *no clue* it was actually twins! badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/congrats-i... 🧪 🔭

Congrats, it’s twins! Iconic brown dwarf is actually two iconic brown dwarfs

Gliese 229B is actually two of these weird objects in a tight orbit around each other

I love that diagram so much

I read about this yesterday. Amazing story.

Great stuff

I so badly want to know what life-bearing planets orbiting these stars would see & experience…
