The James Webb Space Telescope discovered approximately 80 Jupiter-sized free-floating planetary-mass objects in the Orion Nebula, with about 40 of them forming gravitationally bound pairs separated by 25-400 AU, a finding that challenges existing star formation and planet formation theories as neither can explain the formation of such small objects in binary configurations.

Jupiter-Sized Worlds Are Floating in Pairs #space #astronomy #shorts #science #jwst #orion #jumboAdded:
The James Webb Telescope looked into the Orion Nebula.
It found something it was never supposed to see.
About 80 Jupiter-sized worlds drifting alone in deep space [music] with no star to orbit.
But they weren't alone.
They were paired with each other.
Star formation can't make objects this small.
Planet formation can't eject them in twos.
So, how did they get there?
Nobody has an answer.
