But if it's my turn to take us someplace, I'm afraid this captain has run out of destinations. At least for now.

Maybe Stephen's kite will fly, and take us somewhere fantastic?

That is the first statement for the hunt.
Looking to all the yummies posted I got so hungry and ate a sneakers icecream bar, which was so yummy I ate a second. At this rate, the package won't last till sunday.

Well, brown dwarfs are either emitting visible light, or they are not. As long as they emit visible light, that light is red. Nothing naturally emits brown light. Consider - what part of the rainbow is brown? What parts of a fire dying down are brown?Margarita wrote:
So, Ann - brown dwarfs are "red turning to black" not brown?!
Yes, it is obvious when pointed out - and I've not yet learnt much about brown dwarfs so haven't thought about it. Have you any idea about WHY they were first ever called BROWN dwarfs? I'll look up Wikipedia later, but am just curious and know that you are our Star Colour ExpertAnn wrote:Well, brown dwarfs are either emitting visible light, or they are not.

The color brown is just a dark shade of red - it's a combination of MURKY + RED. (Or MURKY + ORANGE.) For us to see this murky redness as brown, we have to see it against a lighter background, in the fashion of Moonlady's sunspots. In space, however, it is unlikely that a brown dwarf will be silhouetted against something brighter than itself, and it is probable that it will be silhouetted against the blackness of space. Therefore, as long as we can see it at all, it will look red to us, not brown.

OR - an absolutely hilarious sci-fi spoof comedy which - I have today discovered to my great delight - is back in production, with the original cast, after a thirteen-year gap! HURRAH! (And it seems to be available to watch online, even for people outside the UK)And oh, P.S. - a red dwarf is a small, light-weight, faint, cool, hydrogen-fusing star. Its color is yellow-orange.

The red dwarfs are hugely numerous, their creation from interstellar matter preferred. Of the stars on the main sequence (classes O through M), 70 percent are dim red dwarfs
