Hotter than the sun: an extremely hot brown dwarf has been discovered about 1,400 light years away from us

The brown dwarf is part of a new pair system that may advance our understanding of the evolution of stars and planets under extreme radiation conditions
Artist rendering of ULAS J222711-004547. This recently discovered brown dwarf is characterized by a thick layer of clouds composed of mineral dust. These thick clouds give ULAS J222711-004547 its strong red color, which distinguishes it from "normal" brown dwarfs. Image: Neil Cook, Center for Astrophysical Research, University of Hertfordshire.
