NPP0118322 Planets in Strange Places are so much smaller than the Sun that they never heated up enough to be real stars. But even brown dwarfs might have planets. Spitzer looked at a brown dwarf named Cha 110913-773444. The telescope saw clouds around the dwarf. Inside those clouds dust and sand may be sticking to- gether, building more planets. If you lived on a planet orbiting a brown dwarf, you’d have a hard time waking up for school. Failed stars are so dim, they don’t make bright sunbeams. And the birds wouldn’t sing either—too cold for that! Planets are being born in some seriously strange places.

Publish: 5/3, 5/10/06, Astronomers used to think planets like Earth usually orbited regular stars like the Sun. But a new discovery is making them think again. NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope (a cousin of Hubble) has spotted planets being born around two blue stars named R66 and R126. These stars are whoppers! They are 30 and 70 times more massive than our own Sun. Astronomers call them “hypergiants.” When Spitzer looked at the hypergiants, it saw some clouds around the stars. The clouds are made of gas, dust and sand. The dust and sand are sticking together, building up planets. That’s what astronomers mean by “planets be- ing born.” One day the hypergiants might have planets like Earth. You think that sounds strange? Spitzer has spotted something even stranger. The tele- scope found planets being born around a “brown dwarf.” Brown dwarfs are stars that failed.
