With the help of #Povray I improved my old star field animations a bit, especially brought color into it. Interstellar we are teeming with #RedDwarfs, who would have thought.

The object in the circle is the brown dwarf.

Ross 19B, a "cold" (127–342 °C; 260–647 °F) brown dwarf around a red dwarf. #browndwarf #reddwarfs #citsci

It was discovered by volunteers and astronomers of the project "backyard worlds". #JWST MIRI 🔭 image of Ross 19B (without the red dwarf). program: www.stsci.edu/jwst-program...

Habitable Zone Planets Around Red Dwarfs Aren't Likely To Host Exomoons The planets in our Solar System host hundreds of moons, so it seems likely that planets in other solar systems do, too. New research examines the likelihood of rocky planets around M dwarfs having exomoons,...

3/10 The breakthrough targets red dwarf stars, the galaxy's most abundant suns that burn for trillions of years—1,000 times longer than our universe has existed.

"We are in the golden age of M dwarfs," says Louisiana State's Natalie Hinkel.

Drawing of 2 reddish spheres like Jupiter and 2 brighter suns close together and shown in an inset.

The exciting discovery of an extremely rare quadruple star system could significantly advance our understanding of brown dwarfs. The system of 2 #browndwarfs and 2 #reddwarfs offers astronomers insight into cool, dim and elusive brown dwarfs. 🌌🔭

In the Search for Earth-like Worlds, We Should Probably Focus on Red Dwarfs According to the latest studies led by Heidelberg University astronomers, low-mass stars quite often host Earth-like planets. Data collected as part of the CARMENES project were the basis of this finding....
