RMKRB42W–This image shows our own back yard, astronomically speaking, from a vantage point about 30 light-years away from the sun. It highlights the population of tiny brown dwarfs recently discovered by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE (red circles). The image simulates actual positions of stars. While big stars like our sun are flashy and easy to see from a distance, astronomers are also interested in our very faintest, smallest neighbors as well. One of the prime objectives of the WISE mission is to find missing 'failed stars,' or brown dwarfs, in the vicinity of the sun. Astrono

RMKRJ9Y2–That green dot in the middle of this image might look like an emerald amidst glittering diamonds, but it is actually a dim star belonging to a class termed brown dwarfs. This particular object, named 'WISEPC J045853.90+643451.9' after its location in the sky, is the first ultra-cool brown dwarf discovered by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. WISE is scanning the skies in infrared light, picking up the signatures of all sort of cosmic gems, including brown dwarfs. The mission's infrared vision makes it particularly good at picking brown dwarfs out of a starry sky. This view
