Artists concept of twin brown dwarfs referred to as 2M 0939

This artists concept shows the dimmest star-like bodies currently known, twin brown dwarfs referred to as 2M 0939. The twins, which are about the same size, are drawn as if viewed from one side. The term brown dwarf comes from the fact that these objects change color over time, and therefore do not have a definitive color. The 2M 0939 brown dwarfs, if we could see them directly with out eyes, would glow a very dark magenta color, due to their cool temperatures and the presence of water, methane and ammonia gases in their atmospheres. 2M 0939s full name is 2MASS J09, after the partly NASA-funded infrared mission, the Two Micron All Sky Survey, or 2MASS, which first detected the object in 1999

Brown Brown Dwarfs Digital Composite Dwarf Stars Rendering Rendition Round Sphere Substars Substellar Objects Two Objects Low Mass View From Space

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept of twin brown dwarfs known as 2M 0939. These celestial bodies, depicted in a digital composite rendition, are the dimmest star-like objects currently discovered. The twins appear spherical and are portrayed from a side view perspective. Brown dwarfs derive their name from their ever-changing colors, lacking a definitive hue. If visible to our eyes, the 2M 0939 brown dwarfs would emanate a mesmerizingly dark magenta glow due to their cool temperatures and the presence of water, methane, and ammonia gases within their atmospheres. The full name of these intriguing entities is 2MASS J09393548-2448279, named after the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), an infrared mission partly funded by NASA that initially detected them back in 1999. This digitally generated image offers us a glimpse into space where two enigmatic objects float gracefully without any human presence. The photograph highlights the beauty and mystery of these low-mass substellar objects often referred to as dwarf stars or substars. It serves as a reminder of how vast our universe is and how much there still remains for us to explore beyond our own planet Earth.
