Creation Moment 8/15/2018 - Flying Planet

....that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain,
and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Isaiah 40:22

"The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array radio telescope has detected emissions, presumably from an aurora, generated by an unusual body 12 times more massive than Jupiter and generating a magnetic field 200 times more intense that is flying through space on its own 20 light years from Earth.


This particular object is exciting because studying its magnetic dynamo mechanisms can give us new insights on how the same type of mechanisms can operate in extrasolar planets — planets beyond our solar system. We think these mechanisms can work not only in brown dwarfs, but also in both gas giant and terrestrial planets.”

Brown dwarfs, objects that are two massive be considered planets but not massive enough to sustain nuclear fusion in their cores, were first predicted in the 1960s and detected for the first time in 1995. Some brown dwarfs have powerful auroras like those seen around the poles of Earth, Jupiter and Saturn caused by the interactions of a planet’s magnetic field and the electrically charged solar wind.
An unaccompanied brown dwarf like SIMP JO1365663+0933473, the object detected by the VLA, does not have a companion star and thus is not flying through a solar wind. But it’s possible an orbiting planet or moon could trigger similar interactions like the ones seen between Jupiter and its moon Io.

In any case, the newly discovered body has a magnetic field 200 times more powerful than Jupiter’s and a surface temperature of about 825 degrees Celsius (more than 1,500 F). Whether it is a massive exoplanet or a brown dwarf is not yet clear. One rule of thumb in drawing the distinction is the mass below which fusion of deuterium is not possible – about 13 Jupiter masses.

The observed magnetic field “presents huge challenges to our understanding of the dynamo mechanism that produces the magnetic fields in brown dwarfs and exoplanets and helps drive the auroras we see,” said Gregg Hallinan, of Caltech. “Detecting SIMP J01365663+0933473 with the VLA through its auroral radio emission also means that we may have a new way of detecting exoplanets, including the elusive rogue ones not orbiting a parent star.”
