TL;DR Summary

New images from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed pairs of planet-like objects called JuMBOs in the Orion Nebula, defying current theories of planet formation. These JuMBOs have masses between 0.6 and 13 times that of Jupiter and are typically 200 astronomical units apart. They are young, about 1 million years old, and their temperatures range from 1,000 to 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. Astronomers are puzzled by their existence and are working to understand how they formed and why they are present in the Orion Nebula. Further observations and research are needed to explain this unexpected discovery.
