James Webb Discovered Mysterious Planet-Like Objects That Float in Pairs in Space

In this episode, we explore the discovery of planet-like objects in a distant nebula that are not orbiting any star, but are floating in pairs. We learn about their characteristics, how they were detected by the James Webb Space Telescope, and how they could have formed. We also see a stunning image of the Orion Nebula, where they were found. This discovery is important and interesting because it challenges our understanding of star and planet formation, and reveals new possibilities for the diversity and evolution of planetary systems.

The James Webb telescope is the gift that just keeps giving and giving.

We have known about rogue planets for decades we just never imaged them. We were well aware that once planets are ejected from their systems they just float through space

Learning something new about space snd the cosmos every day . Thank you for sharing 🪐☄️🌟💥🪐

Dude forgot the third choice, we haven't a clue.

That is just wild! I love it when we discover something so outside of the current understanding. The universe is so massive that there's bound to be brand new information/discoveries. Thank you for keeping me up to date!

My issue is the same as with the ISS. Millions of dollars are spent, only to see the odd one or two things every now and then and then.. nothing. The crew of the ISS should have at least one social media account to share and post their work and pictures every other day, answering questions and providing enough information for the future astronauts of our generation. The telescope should also share all its images all the time and be free to see and share.

Absolutely amazes me how it has taken this long for them to officially recognize the existence of floating planets. Way back over 20 years ago when I was in college in a basic physics class we did the math and found that our solar system should have another Jupiter sized planet and we were chasing a theory that our sun was initially going to be a binary star. What gave us the idea was when the math geek of our class figuring out the size of an object big enough to give Uranus the glancing blow to create its oddball spin. He swore we once had a planet 8x the size of Jupiter that was ejected from our solar system that nicked Uranus on the way out. I remember the SEC science fair back then had a computer moniter that worked off of lazers and a wireless charger from the University of Texas that amazed me. That came out about 10 years ago to charge droid cell phones. I bet we would be completely shocked to see what the big college brains come up with today.

Things becoming increasingly weird after the launch of webb telescope.

It's not just NASA, but also ESA and CSA

[vesawuoristo]

Most likely, these were formed in the usual way and removed from their systems by collisions etc.

[willmariegirona]

To think our own Jupiter could've been a star in our solar system, we wouldn't have known it 🤯

[dragonsbane]

It amazes me why there are always only 2 possibilities 🤔, we’re talking about what we don’t yet over stand!

[blakedavison]

Despite me not knowing the details of their formation into pairs. Most stars are binary, and gas giants are precursors to stars but never gained enough mass to begin fusion. It seems to me that these would likely form the same way most star systems do but without the required mass to start fusion.

[peladoclaus]

If you look at Jupiter through an actual telescope with your own eye... You're going to start thinking wondering what brown dwarfs actually are. Jupiter glows from the inside.

[corneliusdinkmeyer]

New discoveries that challenge our current This is what it’s all about! 👍🏼

[coweatsman]

I like the ejection hypothesis. I like thinking of a council of planets deciding to evict a pair of rouge planets from their peaceful solar system.

[srinivasanranganathan]

In nature exception seems to be rule and thanks to James Webb the fund of knowledge that humanity is enjoying is par excellence.

[hermancharlesserrano]

They’re going to come together to form a baby star 😍

[NarenLumpkin]

Perhaps these are near-stars, perhaps they are pools of potentiality.❤❤❤

[thefleecer]

We will now require diversity training for solar systems
