How do rogue planetary-mass objects, celestial bodies that fall between planets and stars in size, come into existence? An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the University ...

Are they stars? Are they planets? Or are they neither? Some rogue planetary mass objects that wander the cosmos alone could ...

They are often observed in young star clusters like the Trapezium Cluster in Orion. While their existence is well-documented, their origin has long puzzled scientists. Previous theories proposed ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured images in the near-infrared wavelength range of the region near the Trapezium Cluster in the Orion Nebula. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] For over ...

We put Starfield Optics' flagship Géar telescope — the Starfield Géar 115 Triplet APO — to the test. It did not disappoint.

This one-million-year-old star-forming region contains thousands of new stars and hundreds of planetary mass objects floating freely in the nebula, not orbiting stars. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

The Géar 115mm also beautifully displayed the quadruple Trapezium system in the Orion Nebula (M42). The view took my breath away as I stared at the four blue-white stellar sapphires twinkling ...

The mass of these objects is less than 13 times that of Jupiter. They are often observed in young star clusters like the Trapezium Cluster in Orion. While their existence is well-documented, their ...

A New Theory on PMO Formation PMOs, often found in young star clusters like Orion’s Trapezium, have puzzled scientists for years. These objects, with masses below 13 times that of Jupiter ...

Astronomers have long been puzzled by mysterious, planet-sized objects drifting freely through space, unattached to any star. These cosmic wanderers, called planetary-mass objects (PMOs), weigh less ...
