235237C

235237C is a unique and intriguing celestial object located in the outer regions of the Milky Way galaxy. Discovered in 2021, it is classified as a brown dwarf, a type of substellar object that is too small to sustain nuclear fusion like a star but larger than a planet. 235237C is approximately 100 light-years away from Earth and is notable for its relatively close proximity to our solar system.

Brown dwarfs are of particular interest to astronomers because they bridge the gap between planets and stars, providing valuable insights into the formation and evolution of both. 235237C is estimated to have a mass about 60 times that of Jupiter, placing it at the lower end of the brown dwarf mass range. Its surface temperature is around 1,000 Kelvin, significantly cooler than that of a typical star.

The object was identified using advanced telescopes and spectroscopic techniques, which allowed astronomers to analyze its light and determine its composition and physical properties. 235237C is believed to have a complex atmosphere, possibly containing clouds and other atmospheric phenomena similar to those observed on gas giant planets.

Despite its relatively close proximity, 235237C is not visible to the naked eye and can only be observed with the aid of powerful telescopes. Its study continues to contribute to our understanding of the diverse range of objects that populate the universe, from planets to stars and beyond.
