0:07 "...that basically help us see these objects in a very different light." I see what you did there!

[alegame]

"To see these objects in a very different light." Nice one lol

[beridus]

Brown Dwarfs are some of my favorite stellar objects. I love them. They're so weird and fascinating!

[krishead]

Purple magenta dwarves! Love to see these giants up close. Bet they're gobbsmackingly gorgeous IRL. Thank you for sharing. I've always love learning astronomy news.

[marknovak]

Of the 100 stars in the closest proximity to the sun, the sun is bigger than all but six of them. (Not counting any brown dwarfs)

Apparently formation is a more extensive continuum than may have been imagined. We seem to be seeing Proto-stellar Remanent Objects that had substantial Dt fusion, some that seem to have experienced less or variable Dt fusion, and some that may not have had any at all, but may radiate purely from residual heat of formation. And apparently there's a vast range of chemical dynamics, varying, at the very least, based on metallicity, or lack thereof, and perhaps on rotational characteristics and, now, even multi-body dynamics. Great show! And, as always, wonderful work. 👍

Love the T-shirts too.... They're "wonderful".

Absolutely fascinating objects.

Very great job, Anton.

[QuartuvLarry]

All those sci-fi TV shows and movies you saw of spaceships flying near to a star or the "sun?" That's about the actual brightness of a brown dwarf. You can probably look at them just as directly.

[jimcurtis]

Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🤘🙂

[slavensselection]

I love your channel Anton, so analytical and indepth, unlike so many others out there. All the best, wonderful person. I'll have you in my show one day!

[sheldorleconcher]

Some answers and more questions. Perfect!

[scottgardener]

I love that WISE1828 is an “ultra-cool brown dwarf.” Now I really want to send out a multi-generational ship there!

[jenschristianadamsson]

I just love watching your videos.
You are such a sympathetic person, and you select and present the content so wonderfully.
🙂👍

[wiselinden]

I love your videos! Thank you so much for sticking to the fundamentals instead of clickbait nonsense. Also, What's that amazing music at the very end?

[stephenmcdonnell]

Thank you so very much . Outstanding explanation of extremely interesting subjects. Keep it coming Anton.

[markhuebner]

Awesome! Very interesting explanation! Thanks!

[TehOak]

Super interesting. Thank you, wonderful Anton.

[yvonnemiezis]

Interesting indeed, great presentation, thanks 👍😊

[timothypatrick]

Thanks for the update on the new discoveries

I wonder if we could send up a few more mini James webbs and have them work in sync. They’d be up at the LeGrange point, a few miles away, and we could have effectively a wider telescope.
