A Solar Neighborhood Census, Thanks to NASA Citizen Science
To take a census of nearby cosmic objects, sending out a survey won’t work. Scientists need to use many telescopes with different specializations to chart what is in the general neighborhood of the Sun.science.nasa.gov

NASA's Hubble Finds that Aging Brown Dwarfs Grow Lonely
It takes two to tango, but in the case of brown dwarfs that were once paired as binary systems, that relationship doesn’t last for very long, according to a recent survey from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.science.nasa.gov

Brown dwarfs are objects that straddle the dividing line between stars and planets. They form like stars, growing dense enough to collapse under their ownSteve Sabia (NASA)
