The dim glow of the binary brown dwarf system CFBDSIR 1458+10, as seen in the H-band (1.6 microns) by the Keck II Telescope’s powerful Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system. Field of view is 1.5 x 1.1 arcseconds. CFBDSIR 1458+10B is the smaller, cooler partner of the pair. Credit: Michael Liu, et. al/ W.M. Keck Observatory
