Summary

Description
English: PIA23685: What is a Brown Dwarf?

https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23685

Brown dwarfs are more massive than planets but not quite as massive as stars. Generally speaking, they have between 13 and 80 times the mass of Jupiter. A brown dwarf becomes a star if its core pressure gets high enough to start nuclear fusion
