Brown dwarf with methane emission lines

Briefly considered putting this in Planetary Science instead, as it is barely a 'star'.

This discovery really ought to make some mainstreamers reconsider if their model may be a tad flawed, and long-overdue for replacement.

Trying to explaing it away as coming from an orbiting planet is somewhat amusing. Should be too faint to detect.

On an isolated, cold brown dwarf 47 light-years away, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) picked up the signs of methane. But while the gas isn’t unusual on the gigantic worlds, JWST detected emission from the methane, rather than the usual absorption. Now, researchers think the emission may come from the glowing curtain of an aurora on the failed star.

Thanks, nick.

It should only be a matter of time, until the implications are realized:

Methane -> lots of carbon -> carbon core (at least).
Would seem very incompatible with the standard model of star formation.

Also, though I'm not up-to-date on standard models, wouldn't a carbon core prevent hydrogen or deuterium fusion in those models?

Wal Thornhill, Thunderbolts Chief Science Advisor, demonstrates why an important science goal for the infrared JWST is an examination of brown dwarfs to verify they are gas-giant sized bodies enclosed in a huge red anode glow.

The discovery of methane emissions and auroras on a brown dwarf stars seems to fall directly in line with Thornhill's theorizing that in the Electric Universe, brown dwarf stars are basically gas giant planets traveling in interstellar space. This observation of a Brown Dwarf star that seems to have characteristics much like a gas giant planet, supports the EU view.

We already know that gas giant planets in our own solar system exhibit auroral displays and have an abundance of methane and so does the brown dwarf that is the subject of this observation from the JWST.
