A small star is eating a brown dwarf so slowly that the meal could last billions of years, and the two orbit each other every 87 minutes inside a space that would fit within the Sun

A small red star is pulling gas from a brown dwarf as the pair circles every 87 minutes, packed into an orbit that could fit inside the Sun. Material strikes the star’s surface and lights up a hot spot, marking a meal that could continue for billions of years.
