This one is about 12AU in diameter, while the largest known star, UY Scuti, is only about 8AU.

Is it common to find stars this big?

Unfortunately he made black holes with accretion disks far too common. You can still find ones without, I forgot the method how, I think you had to do something with the search and/or objects that are close to you.

Because even those in the center of clusters are very prone to have one. At least in 0.980.

These are the farthest planets in the system, so the high temps are from tidal heating.
>>376663831
I think the reason for that is because the world was generated at the edge of the system, designating it as "cold" , however, due to the moon being so large, the tidal forces of its orbit heated the planet above the threshold for ice to appear, leaving an ice world with no ice.

I see what you're getting at now.

It would be a hellish place to live. Only a tiny sliver would be habital due to tidal locking. There would be constant gale force wind. It would be too dark to see since brown dwarfs emit little visible life. Sunspots would have a way bigger influence on its temperature, meaning that the planet could possibly freeze over for months at a time.

>>376676523
Brown dwarfs have sunspots? I actually doubt that.

But yes, a colony on a brown dwarf would pretty much require habitats or genetic engineering for humans to live comfortably. A white dwarf would be ideal.

>>376676523

Meant "habitable", and "visible light".

>>376676926

I misread the results, anyways, since SE only limits you to 10,000 results per search. When I looked for white dwarfs specifically, I got 2,600 within 100 light years of the sun.

And one of them contains a temperate terra with life.

The problem is if it gets ejected out of the Local Galactic Group's gravitational influence.
Since the universe is expanding, escaping this influence means you'd never reach any galaxy, since they would be expanding away from you faster than the planet could possibly ever move.
