Two failed stars given a second chance. This is the first mass transfer process seen in a brown dwarf pairing ever discovered. Go, go, my brown little stars.
..., a team of scientists has discovered a tightly orbiting pair of brown dwarfs that are working together to combat this "failure." One brown dwarf is actively siphoning material from its companion, meaning it could achieve the mass needed to trigger nuclear fusion in its core and become a fully-fledged star. Either that, or these brown dwarfs will collide and merge, birthing an entirely new star with enough mass to trigger nuclear fusion.
