A newly-discovered "hot-Jupiter" has a surface temperature 2,000 degrees hotter than that of our Sun.
Brown dwarfs are objects that are too big to be planets, but too small to be stars. The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) was recently used by astronomers to find a new, enormous brown dwarf.
The object has a surface temperature 38% hotter than our host star.
A “failed star” known as a brown dwarf is orbiting so tightly with a small star that both of them would fit inside our sun, and at least one of them won’t survive
This unusual system 'shouldn't exist,' says one astronomer, who notes the orbit is as long as his dacommute.
