Your Weather Report From Across the Galaxy

Using very powerful telescopes, scientists have just created the first ever map of the weather on a brown dwarf! Using a clever technique astronomers were able to create a map of the dark and light patches on its surface. Soon, we will be able to watch cloud patterns form, evolve, and disappear just like on Earth. This is an artists impression of how that brown dwarf looks.
