"Jupiter-sized Objects Locked in Mutual Orbit, Astronomers Discover"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers studying Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs) in the Orion Nebula have made a groundbreaking discovery, detecting radio waves originating from both components of a double system of free-floating planets, challenging existing theories on the formation of stars and planets. This finding raises new questions and provides exciting research opportunities to further understand the nature of these free-floating planets, potentially leading to insights into the potential habitability of planets beyond our solar system.
