Brown dwarf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A brown dwarf is a term for an object in space that has the same composition as a star but that is not massive enough to attain hydrogen fusion, or the combining of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This is what makes stars glow. Brown dwarfs are not massive enough to do this, so they are not true stars.
