“”The last thing we need is a star that comes into the inner part of our solar system, starts knocking astroids around and throwing them every which way, and a giant one blasting in to the Earth.”"

Sure to solve all my problems

HAHAHA

if large gas planet like jupiter has heat conviction, and unsustainable hydrogen/lithium fussion may also occure in their core, could we call them dwarf star too?

Oh, one more thing, I do think that it’s a nice article as well.

Oh and to add, clearly it can’t be the biggest, it is only the biggest we know about.

If it’s the largest cool brown dwarf star, then does that means that they will never find any one star out there as big or bigger than that one, ever?

Yes James, we are covered by two mirror. One is on point of sun another is on the point of earthâ€™ shadow
We can see only light and lighted objects. We can see nothing in the darkness. A thing may how much bigger if it go away to away from our eye views, the thing appears us smaller to smaller and at last it will disappear from our eye views. The sun is the only object who gives light the entire solar system. In size it is 3 lakhs time bigger than earth but we look it like a football size. From calculation we know that sun is about150 millions Kilometer away from the earth. So we can find earthlike object at same distance must be disappeared. Since we are created from earth, the eyes power of us has merged with the earth. Since the earthlike object disappears at distance of 150 million Kilometer, the eye powers see anything ahead of it, is zero. But cause reflection we find very deep space on the side of darken earth and find sun spots on sun.

As far as I know, “brown dwarf” and “star” are mutually exclusive categories. Stars fuse hydrogen via the proton-proton chain, and brown dwarfs don’t. (Brown dwarfs can fuse deuterium and possibly lithium at lower temperatures, but those reactions don’t release much energy because deuterium and lithium are scarce.)

So “brown dwarf star” is nonsensical.
