arXiv: CFBDS J005910.90-011401.3: reaching the T-Y Brown Dwarf transition?

This could indicate that Celestia needs to support another spectral type for objects cooler than T dwarfs.

Then again, at ~650 K, the amount of visible radiation produced will be quite small, which raises interesting rendering issues, particularly if Y dwarfs exist in multiple star systems.

Well, these Y Dwarves could be rendered with an ultra dim magenta-colored atmosphere/halo. Later!
