Even all these extra planets would be a drop in the bucket compared to the mass needed to make up for dark matter. <br /><br />So the mystery remains!

They'd make interesting places for interstellar pit-stops to collect fuel or minerals. Species that evolved in gas-giant atmospheres might find them to be terraformable environments. Cool place to hide stuff, too.huthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502682297320819595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384548895562991472.post-81201832159823148752011-05-18T20:11:45.727-05:002011-05-18T20:11:45.727-05:00failed stars I gather, brown dwarves maybe?failed stars I gather, brown dwarves maybe?Aaron E.
