The mystery of how strange cosmic objects called ‘JuMBOs’ became rogue

At the end of 2023, astronomers made a surprising discovery in the Orion Nebula. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team found 40 double planetary mass objects, none of which were orbiting a star. These are called Jupiter Mass Binary Objects, or JuMBOs. In short, this discovery directly challenged both the theories of… Read More »

Radio signals from the Orion Nebula reveal new data about strange celestial objects: ‘JuMBOS’

Last year, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) made the surprising discovery of some free-floating, planetary-mass objects in the Orion Nebula that cast doubt on their ideas about planet and star formation. And now, new research has further deepened the mystery around these objects, called Jupiter-mass binary objects, or JuMBOs. JuMBOs are not… Read More »
