We are beginning to see dark space bodies

Thanks to the use of infrared sensors, our astronomers are beginning to see dark space bodies.

They just discovered one such dark body (brown dwarf) in absolute proximity to our system. Just 7 light years! Unbelievable. This thing is totally invisible in the normal spectrum.

It is basically a star which does not shine because there are no light-generating thermonuclear processes happening at its core.

NASA estimates WISE 0855–0714's mass to be in the 3 to 10 MJ (3 to 10 Jupiter mass) range.

According to the U-book there are more than 7000 physical systems in Satania, but only a little more than 2000 of them are solar systems. It would appear that these dark bodies are quite common. :hithere
