JWST Discovers Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects in Orion Nebula, Offering New Clues
- Friday December 13, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The James Webb Space Telescope has identified dozens of Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs) in the Orion Nebula. These enigmatic rogue gas giant pairs orbit each other at distances of 25 to 400 AU. Researchers propose they could be failed stars formed under extreme radiation conditions, ejected planetary systems, or a mix of both. Simulations repl...

Youngest Exoplanet Ever Discovered Orbiting Around a Growing Protostar 520 Light-Years Away
- Friday November 29, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
TIDYE-1b, a "baby" gas giant exoplanet just 3 million years old, has been discovered orbiting a protostar in the Taurus molecular cloud. The planet’s youth makes it around 1,500 times younger than Earth, offering a rare glimpse into planetary formation. However, TIDYE-1b is orbiting a star surrounded by a misaligned protoplanetary disk, which cha...
