Giant rogue planets could host scaled-down planetary systems



London, UK (SPX) Aug 06, 2025
New findings from the University of St Andrews suggest that giant free-floating planets, unbound to any star, could form their own miniature planetary systems. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers examined eight isolated planetary-mass objects between five and ten times the mass of Jupiter. Although similar in size to gas giants, these bodies drift alone in space rather than orbiting stars. Free-floating planets are difficult to detect because they are extremely ... read more
