They burn lithium but are not massive enough to generate the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen and helium that powers real stars. Planets do none of that. "It has puzzled us; we're not sure where to draw the boundary between planets and brown dwarfs ...
• Early galaxy's magnetism surprises scientists
The galaxy was chosen for the research because its radio band emissions, a form of light , have a very strong and distinct dead zone, or "absorption line," at the wavelength of 21 cm — which is the fingerprint of hydrogen gas. By aiming the Robert C ...
• U.S. cracking down on leaks to China
The head of a high-tech firm in Virginia, Shu is an expert in cryogenics, the science of very low temperatures and their effect on materials; in particular, he has studied liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, which are used to power space launches. The ...
• A last refuge for life remained after extinction
Ocean circulation, so vital to our modern climate, had shut off. Huge algal blooms sucked the seas dry of oxygen. Poisonous hydrogen sulfide built up to lethal concentrations in the water and may have even been belched into the atmosphere ...
• Uranus poses challenge for planet fans
