Do 'Ultracool' Brown Dwarfs Surround Us? 224
astroengine writes "The recent discovery of two very cool 'T-class' brown dwarfs in our cosmic neighborhood has prompted speculation that there may be many more ultracool 'failed stars' nearby (abstract).

I can't believe how racist slashdot has become. They may be ultra cool, but calling them brown is inciting hate. African American little people is the PC term.
Mass disadvantaged stars of color.

Suddenly it all makes sense: we're surrounded by assholes. Still, it doesn't take a scientist to realise that.
