Astronomers at the University of Sydney have shown that a small, faint star is the coldest on record to produce emission at radio wavelength.

The ‘ultracool brown dwarf’ examined in the study is a ball of gas simmering at about 425 degrees centigrade—cooler than a typical campfire—without burning nuclear fuel.

By contrast, the surface temperature of the sun, a nuclear inferno, is about 5,600 degrees.

The new projects will have a focus on disadvantaged communities.

The Biden administration announced Friday it will invest $20 billion from the federal “green bank” for clean energy projects in the region. This is according to a report by ABC News.

The money will come from two programs and will supply competitive grants to nonprofits, community development banks and other groups to invest in clean energy projects. Both funds will have a focus on disadvantaged communities.
