Observations with the European Southern Observatory\u2019s Very Large Telescope, along with two other telescopes, have shown that there is a new candidate for the coldest known star: a brown dwarf in a double system with about the same temperature as a freshly made cup of tea \u2014 hot in human terms, but extraordinarily cold for the surface of a star.
