Chapter 1899: The Failed Star

Chapter 1899 The Failed Star

Brown dwarfs are known as "failed stars" that don't have enough mass to become burning stars, but are still far more massive than the solar system's largest planet, Jupiter. Astronomers have discovered giant planet-like storms on these odd worlds that rival the Great Red Spot on Jupiter.

As the brown dwarf cools over time, the planet's gaseous iron molecules condense into liquid iron clouds and rain. With further cooling, massive storms sweep through these clouds, allowing bright infrared rays to escape into space.

The study and observation of low-mass stars has been one of the research hotspots in the field of stars in the past decade. Brown dwarfs are the most important group. They are neither stars nor planets, but celestial bodies in between.

The study of brown dwarfs has enabled us to have a deeper understanding of the nature of stars and planets, and discovered the cooler l-type and t-type extending to the lower part of the main sequence. The number of brown dwarfs in the Milky Way is comparable to that of the main sequence stars, but It is not the main component of the dark matter of the universe. The formation of brown dwarfs may be different from that of stars and planets, and the study of their formation can provide a better understanding of the formation of stars and planets.

Ten years ago, brown dwarfs were only theoretical celestial bodies in astronomy textbooks. At that time, it was not even known whether such celestial bodies with a mass between giant planets and the lowest temperature dwarfs existed. Today, the problem we face is how to distinguish these low-mass objects.

Zhao Zhongyao watched Feifei tell him what he knew about brown dwarfs. After hearing this, Feifei knew something about this brown dwarf.

'Dad, so this brown dwarf is a failed star, no wonder it wants to seek revenge from the sun! Is it because he feels that he has failed too much, so he is a little angry! Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and made a joke.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, Feifei, although your explanation is unreasonable, it should be said to be more vivid. '

‘Dad, then we should go there to find the twelfth amethyst gemstone, is it possible that we are going to go to this brown dwarf to find it! ’ Feifei said again.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao took out the amethyst gemstone and looked at it again, and said, "Okay, there is a new prompt on the amethyst gemstone, this time it is a miniature earth." '

Feifei and Tiantian both looked curious after hearing what their father said.

'What, mini Earth. ’ Feifei felt a little curious.

‘Dad, is there a big planet exactly like the earth in this small solar system? At this time every day, he also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

'may be! If we can find a planet exactly like the earth in this small solar system, then we may find the twelfth amethyst gemstone. Zhao Zhongyao said again.

‘Dad, what are we waiting for, hurry up and find the mini Earth! ’ Feifei was a little anxious, and wanted to hurry up and find the mini Earth.

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the mini solar system in the distance again and said, 'Don't worry too much, we haven't observed this small solar system clearly yet! When we observe clearly, we will know where the miniature earth is. '

After hearing what Dad said, Feifei also nodded and said, 'Dad, let's take a closer look at what this mini solar system looks like! '

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei still had Tiantian, so they began to carefully observe the small solar system in front of them again. They saw that the structure of this small solar system is roughly similar to that of the large solar system. However, there are also some differences.

In this small solar system, there are actually some large planets. But these big planets are smaller than the eight planets in the big solar system. Because the distance is too far, everyone can't see the difference between these big planets and the big planets in the big solar system.

In addition to these large planets, there are also some asteroids, which are like a barrier, protecting the central celestial body and these large planets near it.

And just now, Zhao Zhongyao and the others drove the spacecraft and saw the dense small celestial bodies, which are some small celestial bodies in the outermost part of this small solar system.

At that time, if Zhao Zhongyao and the others rushed past those small celestial bodies, it would definitely be dangerous. After all, the distance between those small celestial bodies is very small. And they fly very fast, if the spacecraft passes through them rashly, it may hit these small celestial bodies.

Because Zhao Zhongyao and the others also saw it just now, because these small celestial bodies are too close, collisions often occur. If the spacecraft enters into these small celestial bodies that often have collision events, it is very likely that collision events will also occur with those small celestial bodies.

It is precisely because it is very dangerous to travel through these small celestial bodies that Zhao Zhongyao thought of changing the direction of the spacecraft and entering the core area of ​​this small solar system from another direction.

In this way, it is equivalent to bypassing these dense small celestial bodies. After all, these small celestial bodies are in a relatively concentrated plane, just like the Kuiper belt in the big solar system. As long as you can bypass this plane, you can directly enter the core area of ​​the small solar system.

‘Dad, this small solar system is similar to our big solar system, does it also have eight planets? Now we can go to the core of this small solar system to find the mini Earth! Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, 'Okay, then let's go to the core area of ​​the small solar system and look for that small earth! '

finished speaking,

Zhao Zhongyao drove the spaceship again, heading towards the core of this small solar system.

Soon, the spacecraft flew to the core of this small solar system. Because this brown dwarf is an "alternative celestial body" between stars and planets. ’ This little sun is actually very different from the big sun. Not to mention anything else, the temperature is very different.

The surface temperature of this brown dwarf is only 2,000 degrees, while the surface temperature of the sun is 6,000 degrees. Also, on the periphery of the brown dwarf, there is a relatively dense atmosphere. These atmospheres will also greatly weaken the radiation temperature of brown dwarfs, making it difficult for humans to find brown dwarfs when observing.

The spacecraft came to a stop millions of kilometers away from the brown dwarf. Observing this brown dwarf from this distance, it feels very similar to the big sun. If you don't know it's a brown dwarf, you'll think it's a big sun.
