Submission + - Star cooler than Venus found (discovery.com)

crossconnects writes: "A dim, lonely, weakling star with the lowest stellar temperature yet recorded has been found just 40 light-years from Earth.
The brown dwarf star is between 15 and 30 times the mass of Jupiter and has a surface temperature of a mild 660 degrees Fahrenheit (350 Celsius) — about the surface temperature of the planet Mercury at the equator and much cooler than the surface of Venus."
