Brown dwarfs occupy a unique position in the cosmos, acting as a bridge between the classifications of planets and stars. These objects are typically cooler than stars but hotter than planets, creating a complex category that blurs our understanding of celestial classification.
The new brown dwarf's extreme temperature further complicates this classification. While brown dwarfs can reach high temperatures due to their unique formation processes, WD 323177b is breaking records, invoking curiosity and excitement in the astronomical community.
