Rotation in astronomy is extreme! 🌌

Brown Dwarf 2MASS J0348-6022 rotates once every 1.1 hours and has a mass 43 times Jupiter’s.
Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, rotates once every 9.8 hours with a mass of 1 Jupiter.
Saturn, the second-largest planet, rotates once every 10.2 hours with a mass of 0.3 Jupiter’s.

Brown dwarfs are often called “failed stars” because they are more massive than planets but not massive enough to sustain hydrogen fusion like real stars. Their incredible spin rates reveal just how extreme objects in our universe can be.
