Last year, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers made the startling discovery of some free-floating, planetary-mass objects in the Orion nebula that threw their ideas of planet and star formation into doubt. And now, new research has further deepened the mystery around these so-called Jupiter-mass binary objects, or JuMBOs.
JuMBOs aren't stars, but aren't really planets either. Mark McCaughrean, senior science advisor at the European Space Agency (ESA), and colleagues originally located the objects in the Orion nebula. This nebula is a star birthing region, also known as Messier 45, and sits around 1,350 light years from Earth.
Building on that observation, a team of researchers used data collected by the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory to study radio signals coming from some of those JuMBOs. Yet, despite the fact that McCaughrean and colleagues found 40 pairs of JuMBOs, only one pair of these strange objects was seen to be emitting radio waves.

“SEND MORE CHUCK BERRY”
“...that threw their ideas of planet and star formation into doubt...”
Like the little nerds can look at their little corner of the limitless universe and discern how it all started.
I thought we had already named these as brown dwarfs?
Those are the where the aliens that built the pyramids are from.
“that threw their ideas of planet and star formation into doubt. “
That’s because its “science” /s. No its NOT. Its “guess work” pipe dreams and wet dreams all in one.
They are looking “billions and billions” of light years into space and make determinations as to just about everything!
Astronomy is a nice HOBBY! Its NOT “science”.

Your level of ignorance is extreme. This article is referring to the Orion Nebula region which is only about 1300 light years from earth. Not billions of light years.
You declaring all the science and discoveries we've made of the sun, moon, solar system, planets, galaxies etc, all being simply, "Guess work" and make believe, takes ignorance to a whole new level.
Cat got your tongue?
