As one explores the vastness of the virtual universe of SpaceEngine, one can encounter intriguing celestial phenomena, such as this spectacle of a brown dwarf orbiting a white dwarf star. This mesmerizing event unfolds as the brown dwarf, a substellar object too massive to be classified as a planet yet not massive enough to sustain nuclear fusion like a star, gracefully dances around its more luminous companion, the white dwarf.

The brown dwarf, cloaked in hues of deep mahogany and swirling clouds of gas, follows a smooth trajectory around the white dwarf. Meanwhile, the white dwarf, a remnant of a once massive star now in its twilight years, emits a ghostly glow, its surface a crystalline lattice of degenerate matter.
