In Response To: Theory, speculation, scientific fact &/or fiction (Gre'Thor117)

: Thanks, Steve.

: As it was said before, a brown dwarf is a dead or dying star.

That's not the usage that I was taught. We'll have to agree to disagree here.

: 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.

Mid-August, IIRC. (Though I might be thinking of a different cluster... at work so I can't check resources.) I used to check them out when I could, but they also used to conflict with GenCon preparations. *sigh* Aulden days. Now I live too close to the sodium lights to see them.

: 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.

Actually, that was one of the NASA papers cited in the Cortana Letters.
