In Response To: Re: Speculation about jump starting Jupiter (Anton P. Nym) : That movie is probably 2010 , the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey . I : thought it was neat, and a lot less "brown acid"-inspired than : its noble predecessor. : Not really. It might spark up, but Jupiter doesn't have the density to stay : lit... in 2010 the Monoliths had to jigger seriously with its : composition in order to get Jupiter to fire up. : True, in the sense that any gas giant can be considered a "failed" : star. But that's different than a brown dwarf, for some weird astrophysics : reasons that involve lots of equations that I've forgotten. (A brief : description is buried in my earlier post... but real astronomers would : snigger at trying to use this as a proof.) : -- Steve, densely Thanks, Steve. As it was said before, a brown dwarf is a dead or dying star. Used to be a major astronomy kid while growing up, and still am. Looking forward to the next come around by the Leonids (a meteor cluster) around I think... the November-December months. Back to dead a dying dwarfs, I remember there was a documentary of a dead star possibly orbitting a main sequence in a binary system. Every revolution would of course cause a wobble effect and also would cause the main sequence star to black out of space when seen by Earth- as it covers it up. I think it said you can't even see it (like a black hole) because it's fuel was so burnt up that it was a dead, cold mass in space.
