Alternatively, Capotauro may be an extraordinary brown dwarf (a “failed star” that is more massive than …

If confirmed by future observations, this research could suggest that our current model of how the universe evolves is still missing some crucial pieces. As we study the universe more, we have found ourselves to be part of …
