Karl Klassic says that scientists have discovered that planets can orbit around brown dwarfs (essentially failed stars). He started writing about them in his new sci fi novel before they verified their existence. Apparently they are twice as common as stars and emit a subtle, infrared glow. I love that there are at twice as many failed stars as real ones. I went to the silver dollar last night for bluegrass night and saw everyone I had not seen in ages. So that's where everyone orbits.
