Brown dwarfs at boiling point


Strange news today. It's about brown dwarfs. According to the brief look we had at this survey brown dwarfs have a body temperature much higher than normal people, and as far as we know (but we haven't checked it yet), higher than normal dwarfs, if you can call them normal. Brown dwarf temperature is 100°C, the same temperature as boiling water, which is probably not a coincidence. So be careful touching guys like Beetlejuice. You might just burn yourself.
