Starry Time PodcastFeeling under the weather🤧
But I can be grateful it's not *this* weather (an artist's rendition of weather on a brown dwarf)

The detection of the molecule #phosphine in a #browndwarf’s atmosphere may help #astronomers in their search for life elsewhere in the Milky Way,a molecule that on this planet is produced by living things.
This discovery is not life, the astronomers say. Any life as we know it would be impossible to sustain in such an environment.

Gemini South Aids in Discovery of Elusive Cloud-Forming Chemical on Ancient Brown Dwarf - 10-billion-year-old brown dwarf nicknamed The Accident unlocks clues to the chemistry of cloud formation on planets like Jupiter and Saturn
In the first discovery of its kind, astronomers have found silane in the atmosphere of an ancient brown dwarf nicknamed The Accident. This molecule plays an important role in the formation of clouds in gas giant atmospheres, but for decades it has eluded detection in planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The discovery was made possible with complementary observations from the U.S. National Science Foundation-funded Gemini South telescope in Chile and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.
