取而代之的是观点认为，这个明亮的恒星的质量还要小的多。

Instead, it is a bright star with a lot lessmass.

即使在这样较小的质量下，鉴于恒星和行星诞生的环境的不同，许多天文学家依然会将它划分为小质量恒星而不是行星。

Even at this smaller mass, however, many astronomers would still classify it as a low mass star rather than a planet, since the circumstances of birth for stars and planets differ.
