"Unraveling the Mystery of Free-Floating Binary Planets"

The discovery of dozens of Jupiter-sized planets drifting in pairs within the Orion Nebula challenges existing theories of planetary formation. These free-floating pairs, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope, defy conventional understanding as they are not bound to any star. Dubbed Jupiter Mass Binary Objects (Jumbos), their existence has left astronomers puzzled, prompting various hypotheses about their origins, including ejection from stars or in-situ formation from gas clouds. Further observations and studies are needed to unravel this cosmic mystery.
