A rogue planet, Cha 1107-7626, is absorbing an astonishing 6.6 billion tons of matter per second, behaving like a star. This planet, located in the Chamaeleon constellation, is growing rapidly, adding material eight times faster than previously observed. Its size is increasing significantly every second. Discovered in 2008, Cha 1107-7626 is surrounded by a gas and dust disk, influencing its variable growth rate. Scientists are observing its "baby phase."
