The theory of scientists
The spaceship telescope NASA’s James Webb discovered objects in the Orion Nebula that look like “planets» and are the size of Jupiter.
In accordance with BBCthe telescope revealed about 40 pairs in a surprisingly detailed new survey of the famous Orion Nebula, while nicknamed Jupiter Mass Binary Objects or ‘JuMBOs’ for brevity.
One possibility is that these objects grew from regions of the nebula where the density of material was insufficient to form full stars. Also, another possibility is that they formed around stars and were then ejected into interstellar space through various interactions.
“The ejection hypothesis is the most popular at the moment,” the professor said Mark McCaughrean.
“According to the laws of physics that govern gases it is not possible to create bodies exclusively of the mass of Jupiter while we know that individual planets can be expelled from star systems. But how do you evict couples together? At this time, we do not have an answer. It’s an answer for theorists,” the European Space Agency’s (Esa) senior science adviser told BBC News.
Professor McCaughrean led the team that conducted the new Orion survey.
By combining JWST’s astonishing resolution and sensitivity, astronomers have added substantially to information already obtained from earlier telescopes, including Webb’s immediate predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope.
