Creation Moment 7/24/2020 - "Weird" or Unique?

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God...
Hebrews 11:3

"Astronomers and citizen scientists have found two would-be stars lacking heavy elements.

Brown dwarfs ....these Jupiter-size balls of gas aren’t massive enough to maintain nuclear fusion in their cores, so they never light up as stars.
Arttu Sainio independently discovered the first brown dwarf, WISEA 1810–1010...Four citizen scientists, Paul Beaulieu, Sam Goodman, William Pendrill, and Austin Rothermich, independently discovered the second object, WISEA 0414–5854.
Additional observations at other wavelengths confirmed these sources were brown dwarfs, but strange ones. “Indeed, the spectra of these objects look pretty weird (to brown dwarf astronomers),” notes study coauthor Adam Burgasser.
The best explanation is that these brown dwarfs lack heavy elements.
Technically, that marks them as “extreme subdwarfs of the T class".
