Starhood

Brown dwarfs are much bigger than planets but not quite big enough to generate the internal pressure needed to burst into starhood.

Near those stars-to-be, other bodies, too low in mass ever to reach starhood, also began to form.

It was the only image of the funeral most people saw, making the occasion an emblem of Diana's starhood rather than a celebration of Florence's life and a scene of mourning for her death.
