The brown dwarf LP 944-20

The sky field with the nearby Brown Dwarf LP 944-20 at the centre, as photographed in blue (B), red (R) and near-infrared (IR) light (reproduced from the Digital Sky Survey [STScI Digitized Sky Survey, (C) 1993, 1994, AURA, Inc. all rights reserved - cf. http://archive.eso.org/dss/dss]). The object (at the arrow) is obviously very red. Another much younger Brown Dwarf, Cha HA 2 , has one.
