This isn’t “I want to believe”, this is “it would be irresponsible to not consider”.

Good point, they probably focused this press release on the content of this initial dataset.

Good catch! Thanks for checking the source.

Yeah, I gave up reading at
it’s a shocking reminder that there are forces outside of the internet that still affect our digital lives.
It absolutely depends on the context.
They are!
Electromagnetically and gravitationally and chemically they act like stars.
Gas giant simulations are often performed by stellar codes such as mesa. Stellar physics and stellar simulations with fusion turned off. Morphologically, they are stars. We should move on from the cold war brain’s fusion chauvinism.
They are fundamentally different objects than planets. They have their own planetary systems. They’re stars, just unlit.
Juno gravity results imply Jupiter’s core is dissolved hydrogen plasma sludge, also known as the dilute core model. Kronoseismology (using saturn’s rings as a seismograph; Cassini read it like a DVD) implies the same is likely true for Saturn due to the discovery of g-mode waves mixing with the f-mode signal detected by ring occultations.
Yes.
Y dwarf stars are a mix of what was previously classified under those mass classifications.

Here’s Jupiter on Wikipedia’s list of Y-class brown dwarves.
Jupiter and Saturn are in fact brown dwarves.
Stellar classes are OBAFGKMLTY, from most to least massive.
Jupiter and Saturn are brown dwarves, and fit many definitions of “star”.
They are both large enough to have developed a hydrogen plasma core furnace that dissolves the rock and ice that was once their core. They are more than just a hydrogen atmosphere, down to the core they’re a big ball of plasma undergoing all of the same physics as stellar tissue, except the pressure at the center isn’t enough to ignite fusion.
Uranus and Neptune, meanwhile, are likely too small for this, and maintain a fluid ice layer and rocky core beneath their hydrogen envelopes. There is not enough hydrogen for it to take over these worlds. Therefore, they are planets, not brown dwarf stars.
Jupiter and Saturn, however, have grown large enough for the hydrogen to have turned to plasma and dissolved and supplanted their cores with a plasma furnace.
The solar system has three stars. We are not too early to explore other star systems. We know of many planets around Jupiter and Saturn. The extraterrestrial planet with most earth-like atmosphere and surface geology that we know of is Titan, and it’s in our neighboring (sub) star system. Huygens and Juice and Europa Clipper and Dragonfly are humanity’s first missions to planets around other stars.
No factory default due to data corruption, so I uninstalled it as bloat. Then I wrote a few of my own to play with, but instead of dynamically assigning at boot I set up hotswapping.
Take two pieces of string with wooden knobs at the ends and hang them up together.
Put your arm between them and pull down quickly.
Repeat, and notice how a fraction of the time those wooden knobs may wrap around each other and become tied by a knot held by the downward force of your arm until you pull up which you can’t do if you’re hanging.
Is that what they call an upside-down cake?
Replace “makes” with “is correlated with” because we don’t have sufficient evidence to infer causality.
That word is especially disgusting because we all know Bill Gates chose it so he could name his company after his penis.
Never have I ever seen Rocky Horror Picture Show, and multiple people have told me that I should in the past few weeks.

What’s he gunna do with Cheney’s bunker under 1 Observatory?
He can spy on everyone’s couches at once!
