Artists concept of Teide 1 from the surface of a hypothetical Mars-like planet
Artists concept of how Teide 1 might appear from the surface of a hypothetical Mars-like planet. In this image a hypothetical young planet orbits Teide 1 from a distance of about four million miles. The planet has acquired enough atmosphere to host clouds, but it is still very early in its evolution. Teide 1 looms large in the sky, but in fact Teide 1s diameter is only about twice that of Jupiter s. All brown dwarfs are roughly the size of Jupiter, the more massive brown dwarfs are simply more dense. As for this planet, it is very unlikely that life will ever evolve here due to its hosts relatively short life span; in just another billion years Teide 1 will have cooled to a modest 1, 700 F.
Discovered in 1995, Teide 1 is a type of mysterious object called a brown dwarf. Bigger than a planet, but smaller than a star, Teide 1 is about 400 light years from the Earth in the Pleiades star cluster. It is thought that Teide 1 has the mass equivalent of about 55 Jupiters, which is considered large for a brown dwarf. Teide 1 is massive enough, and hence hot enough, to sustain lithium fusion in its core, but is unable to initiate hydrogen fusion like our sun. Teide 1 is probably only about 120 million years old (compared to our suns 4.5 billion years) and burns at a temperature of 4, 000 F, less than half as hot as the surface of our sun

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept of Teide 1 as seen from the surface of a hypothetical Mars-like planet. The image depicts a young planet orbiting Teide 1, situated approximately four million miles away. Despite its relatively early stage of evolution, this planet has already acquired enough atmosphere to support clouds. In the sky, Teide 1 looms large, although its diameter is only about twice that of Jupiter. Teide 1 itself is a fascinating celestial object known as a brown dwarf. Discovered in 1995 and located in the Pleiades star cluster, it lies roughly 400 light years away from Earth. With a mass equivalent to around 55 Jupiters, Teide 1 falls between the size of a planet and a star within this unique category. Although capable of sustaining lithium fusion in its core due to its significant mass and high temperature (4,000 F), Teide 1 cannot initiate hydrogen fusion like our sun does. This enigmatic brown dwarf burns at less than half the temperature of our sun's surface but possesses immense potential for scientific exploration. However intriguing this cosmic spectacle may be, life evolving on the hypothetical Mars-like planet seems highly unlikely due to Teide 1's relatively short lifespan. In just one billion years from now, it will have cooled down significantly to reach temperatures as modest as around 1,700 F. Captured by Walter Myers for Stocktrek Images, this mesmerizing print invites us into the realm where imagination meets astronomical wonders beyond our own solar system.
