Luhman 16B Origami Balloon

Luhman 16B is one of a pair of brown dwarfs — objects more massive than planets, but less massive than stars — located only 6.5 light years from Earth. It is the nearest object outside the Solar System and the first brown dwarf to have its surface mapped out. This map probably shows patchy clouds made of rock or iron.
