no way

Just when astronomers think they know about our own solar system they find another mystery.  If you have heard of brown dwarf stars or not, they pretty much straddle the line between stars and, at least in the way we are able to understand them.  And depending on who you ask, it is kind of like the deep dish Chicago style pizza vs. thin crust New York style debate 😉  They are not considered to be either however according to some folks:

There is a peculiar system 1,600 light-years from our solar system. It is composed of two brown dwarfs, massive objects too big to be planets and too small to fuse hydrogen and become stars. But that is not the strange part: Scientists have now discovered a Venus-sized planet around the smaller brown dwarf.

What do you think about them or do you have an opinion about this?

Is this something you would have expected?
