Universe Today reports on the
discovery of a companion to the brown dwarf
2M J044144.
Astronomers say it is the right size for a planet, but they believe the object formed in less than 1 million years — the approximate age of the brown dwarf — and much faster than the predicted time it takes to build planets according to conventional theories.
Louise Riofrio predicted years ago that such planets would be found, because planets can form around tiny black holes. Thanks to
Hubble and
Gemini for these beautiful images.
Thanx for the linx! Continued best wishes on your search too. Things are still going well in Hawaii and Houston. Met some very interesting people connected to Apollo 13!
ReplyDeleteHeh, thanks Louise. Wow, Apollo 13 was one coooool mission. Saw the movie, of course.
