James Webb Telescope Unveils Six New Rogue Planets

These free-floating celestial bodies, found in the Perseus constellation, challenge current understandings of star and planet formation.

The James Webb Space Telescope discovered six rogue planets ranging from five to ten times the mass of Jupiter.
These planets, located in the NGC 1333 star cluster, are untethered to any star's gravity.
The discovery includes the lightest rogue planet ever identified, featuring a debris disk.
Findings suggest these massive planets may form similarly to stars, blurring the line between star and planet formation.
Further studies will investigate their atmospheres and potential for hosting mini-planetary systems.
