Brown Dwarf

by Michael Carroll

A brown dwarf is a large red-hot planet. Nearly a star, it is of sufficient mass to ignite fusion fires at its core. A planet 10 times the mass of Jupiter will be sufficient to start the burning.

Here a brown dwarf is seen from the surface of a passing comet, fragmenting from the heat. A thin ring of debris surrounds the planet-star.

Sold framed in a thin silver and rust-colored fillet mats surrounded by a dark blue suede. Frame is 1" frosted silver aluminum. Non Glare UV plexiglass.
