This brown dwarf might look a lot like Jupiter
The cloud bands on brown dwarf Luhman 16A were found via instruments known as polarimeters. An astronomer said they’re like “… an astronomer’s polarized sunglasses. But instead of trying to block out that glare, we’re trying to measure it.” Source: https://earthsky.org/space/brown-dwarfs-banded-clouds-luhman-16a-vlt…
