James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of massive planets out there that’re capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star.  These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around …
