NASA's JWST Discovers Evidence of Planetary System Formation Around Starless Worlds

New research from the University of St Andrews has provided groundbreaking insights into the potential of giant, free-floating planets forming their own miniature planetary systems. These objects, which are not orbiting any stars, could challenge our traditional understanding of planetary formation. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team of researchers has found that these free-floating planets, with masses ranging from …

Independent planets! Giant planets form planetary systems without the presence of a star.

A new study shows that isolated planets and giants can create their own planetary systems far from their stars.Isolated planets are forming their own planetary systems, according to observations made using data from the James Webb telescope.Planetary systems form from clouds of gas and dust called nebulae. When these clouds collapse under their own gravity, often due to an external disturbance, they begin to rotate and form a protoplanetary disk…
