Astronomers using JWST have discovered six rogue, planet-sized objects in the Perseus constellation, untethered to any star. This challenges traditional views of planet formation. Astrophysicist Adam Langeveld suggests these objects could offer insights into the star and planet formation processes. Stars typically form top-down from collapsing dust and gas clouds, while planets form bottom-up from leftover disk material. Understanding these rogue objects could provide crucial context for both formation theories.
