00:04Rogue planets are planetary bodies that don't orbit a host star, instead hurtling through space seemingly randomly.
00:10Experts believe many of them form in binary star systems and were ultimately ejected from them left to wander the
00:16cosmos.
00:17Now the James Webb Space Telescope has identified several of them and they're wandering through an utterly gorgeous part of
00:22space.
00:23This is a star-forming nebula in the Perseus constellation.
00:26Astronomers say they have found six rogue planets meandering through it.
00:30Rogue planets are of interest to astronomers as we don't currently know the limit at which a body of coalescing
00:35material may collapse and become a star, as opposed to remaining a massive planet.
00:39Meaning experts wonder if rather than being jettisoned from a star system, some rogue planets were meant to be stars,
00:45but simply never got there.
00:46And the most recent rogue planets discovered are huge, between five and ten times the mass of Jupiter, our solar
00:53system's most massive planet.
00:54With the researchers concluding after this new discovery, our observations confirm that nature produces planetary mass objects in at least
01:01two different ways.
01:02From the contraction of a cloud of gas and dust, the way stars form, and in discs of gas and
01:07dust around young stars, as Jupiter in our own solar system did.
01:11So let's get to the most careful 101 of the horizon.
01:11Let's get started.
01:11So let's get started.
01:15So let's focus on how this is actuallytract from Gerparent21's and mostly Mexican-Ace deuteronomyĺş— and then baths, a traditionaloretum

01:16See you tonight!
01:16See you, todayculus.
01:16And the favorite arts or Ph forgets that the adventists form, the format of a pet, which we'll give you
01:16an adult, plus a broken mother form.
01:16Todayyn, youĂ­ll be like walking trying to get to expect our vehicle from work as possible.
01:17Yes.
