How come we can see it so clearly without any nearby star?

The object was discovered using Pan-STARRS camera 1, which is designed to be sensitive to near IR wavelengths. It emits IR radiation due to its own internal hot core - enough to be detected as a source similar to, but cooler than a Brown Dwarf star.
