NASA thinks they may have found a solar system around a brown dwarf that's 1/100th the size of our sun.
I found this interesting, and a little unclear. I'm not sure whether they mean that the solar system is small in the sense that there are few things orbiting this star, or that it is small in the sense that the planets that formed around this small star are small, or both.
Here's a link to the story for anyone interested:
