By ⋅ August 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) — A group of NASA scientists has discovered the coldest class of star-like bodies, with temperatures as cool as the human body, the agency announced on Wednesday. Astronomers unsuccessfully tracked these dark orbs, termed Y dwarfs, for more than a decade as they are almost impossible to see when viewed with a visible-light telescope. However, with the use of NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), which has infrared vision, scientists were able to finally spot the faint glow of six Y dwarfs relatively close to the sun, within a distance of about 40 light-years.
