Mysterious 'rogue' objects discovered by James Webb telescope may not actually exist, new simulations hint

Recent observations of Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs) in the Orion Nebula Cluster by the James Webb Space Telescope have sparked debate among astronomers. New computer simulations suggest these planet-like pairs are extremely fragile, with up to 90% destroyed within a million years in dense nebulae. The findings cast doubt on the existence of JuMBOs and support the idea that they may be misidentified background objects.
