Is the Secret to Finding Aliens Hiding in Brown Dwarfs?

Of all the various celestial phenomena that exists out beyond the boundaries of our own world, few are as fascinating as brown dwarf "stars."

Browndwarfs aren't really stars in the traditional sense, nor are they planets. In fact, while our understanding of them is in its early stages, NASA believes that if we can unlock their secrets, we may finally be able to easily find both aliens and habitable planets with shocking accuracy.

Not only that, learning more about brown dwarfs could better help us to further be able to understand the process through which star systems form in the first place.

With all of that in mind, NASA has announced it will be pointing the James Webb Space Telescope at one of them in a new study that aims to explain just why some stars fail to quite pop.
