    Alright I'm awake.

    Here we go, results! I'll also work in my last astro fact with the reveal:

    ASTRO FACTS #8: My Username

    My username is not just a random jumble of letters, as many of you may think. It's actually a list of names of spectral classes for stars - basically it just categorizes how hot and bright stars are. So you'll all be assigned a star based on how brightly you shone in this competition :84:

    Brown Dwarfs: L and T stars

    Many astronomers hesitate to actually call brown dwarfs "stars," as stars are defined by having the capability to fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores and brown dwarfs certainly can't do that. However, unlike gas giant planets like Jupiter, brown dwarfs can fuse deuterium in their cores, which is one step along the way to fusing helium - they just can't complete the job. So they can't quite be called planets either; they're in this kind of limbo state between the two.

    Our brown dwarfs will be those outside the top 10:

    You are SIMP0136
    You were originally classified as a T-type brown dwarf, but ended up being downgraded to planet because you were even too small for that :55:

    Sorry mate - some people loved you for bringing back childhood memories. Most didn't. But it was a good laugh :giggle1:

    While I hadnt heard that Star Trekkin song in probably 25yrs, my brother was obsessed with it way back when. Just brought back that nostalgia and the fact Ive seen him like once in 15yrs or somerthing, so you have my brother to thank for being ranked as highly as i did in 4th or 5th or something, lol

    You are Gliese 229B

    You are a T-type dwarf which is orbiting M-type star Gliese 229. You were bright enough to be detected so close to a real star, but still dim enough that you aren't a real star yourself... :85:

    Yeah, I stuck it right up the top first off and gradually pushed it down slightly, lol. In fact my comment to Obaf when voting:

    You are DENIS 0255-4700

    You are our first L-type dwarf in this competition, as you burn a bit hotter than the T-dwarfs below you. You also happen to be the faintest brown dwarf as seen from Earth, but that doesn't mean that you're not a little brighter than that may suggest :102:

    You are Cha 110913

    You are an L-type dwarf which appears to have its own protoplanetary disk! This means that you may have planets form around you at some point in the future, but probably not many because you're still pretty small-time :76:
