This chapter delves into the intersection of astronomy and fashion, tracing the journey from a blog to an online shop offering science-related products. The speakers discuss the mysteries of success, the history of brown dwarfs in astronomy, and the evolution of spectral classification for stars and brown dwarfs. Additionally, the conversation touches on the distinctions between stars, exoplanets, and brown dwarfs, highlighting the complexity of mass criteria in defining celestial objects.
Could we find life around low-mass stars? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice find out why life might be more likely around low-mass stars, what makes brown dwarfs, galactic archeology, and more with astronomer Emily Rice.
