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 that there's massive planets out there capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star. These planets would be the center of a mini version of our solar system where other planets revolve around it. But without the light of a star, these would go largely overlooked by our telescopes. The work, published in a yet to be peer reviewed study, focuses on free-floating "rogue" planets which are not gravitationally bound to a star. While some rogue […] https://futurism.com/james-webb-free-floating-planetary-systems?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky
