reports on the discovery
of a companion to the brown dwarf 2M J044144
Astronomers say it is the right size for a planet, but they believe the object formed in less than 1 million years — the approximate age of the brown dwarf — and much faster than the predicted time it takes to build planets according to conventional theories. Louise Riofrio
predicted years ago that such planets would be found, because planets can form around tiny black holes. Thanks to Hubble
for these beautiful images.
