Comments on: The Moon – Why Einstein Was Wrong http://www.libertariannews.org/2010/05/21/the-moon-why-einstein-was-wrong/ Hate The State Thu, 23 May 2013 08:01:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Michael Suede http://www.libertariannews.org/2010/05/21/the-moon-why-einstein-was-wrong/#comment-4559 Michael Suede Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:27:43 +0000 http://fascistsoup.com/?p=3734#comment-4559 I never said Jupiter and Saturn are brown dwarfs, I said they were brown dwarfs.

The mass differences between brown dwarfs and gas giants is due to electrical influences. All brown dwarfs / gas giants are roughly the same size.

If Saturn was to be placed outside the Sun’s heliosphere, it would light up in a glow discharge and become a brown dwarf.

This is not a theoretical statement – it’s an actual observation. Brown dwarf stars can fuse deuterium, but are not massive enough for hydrogen/helium fusion.

The line between “friggin’ huge gas giant” and brown dwarf is somewhat hazy, but people generally agree that somewhere between 7 and 20 times the mass of Jupiter, a gas giant is massive enough to produce deuterium fusion, thus being defined as a brown dwarf.
