Webb telescope spots six rogue worlds within a glowing cosmic cloud

Astronomers have discovered six rogue worlds using the James Webb Space Telescope. These celestial bodies are slightly larger than Jupiter and provide insights into the formation of stars and planets in the universe. The telescope captured a glowing image of a star-forming nebula, revealing the formation process. The observations found newborn stars, brown dwarfs, and planet-like objects within the nebula. The study aims to understand how objects of various masses form. The findings suggest that planetary mass objects can form through different mechanisms, including gas and dust contraction and disk formation around young stars. The discovery of a brown dwarf with a planetary companion also sheds light on the diversity of star and planet formation. Astronomers continue to study rogue worlds to understand their origins and expect more insights from future space telescopes.
