JWST Discovers Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects in Orion Nebula, Offering New Clues
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...

Oldest Planetary Nebula Hosted by 500-Million-Old Galactic Cluster Discovered: All Details
The oldest visible planetary nebula has been discovered by astronomers inside a 500-million-year-old galactic open cluster. These planetary nebulas are glowing shrouds ejected from dying stars, which present a spectacular sight. Believed to be of high astrophysical value, the rare celestial jewel has been discovered inside a cluster called M37 and ...
