Discovery of JuMBOs in Orion Nebula challenges formation theories

Summary: Astronomers discovered 40 Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs) in the Orion Nebula using the JWST. Astrophysicists from the University of Nevada and Stoneybrook University proposed a model explaining how these objects were ejected from their systems. This discovery challenges traditional star and planet formation theories. The research, published in Nature Astronomy, suggests JuMBOs could be common and revolutionizes our understanding of planetary evolution.
