![A Hubble Space Telescope image of the giant galaxy M87 shows a 3,000-light-year-long jet of plasma blasting from the galaxy's 6.5-billion-solar-mass central black hole. The blowtorch-like jet seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory. These novae are not caught inside the jet, but are apparently in a dangerous neighbourhood nearby. During a recent 9-month survey, astronomers using Hubble found twice as many of these novae going off near the jet as elsewhere in the galaxy. The galaxy is the home of several trillion stars and thousands of star-like globular star clusters. [Image description: A Hubble photo of galaxy M87, which resembles a translucent, fuzzy white cotton ball. The brightness decreases gradually out in all directions from a bright white point of light at the centre. A wavy blue-white jet of material extends from the point-like core outward to the upper right, about halfway across the galaxy. Stars speckle the background.]](https://nasaspacenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Hubble_s_view_of_M87_galaxy-2000x1200-1-75x75.jpg)
In this episode, we explore the discovery of planet-like objects in a distant nebula that are not orbiting any star, but are floating in pairs. We learn about their characteristics, how they were detected by the James Webb Space Telescope, and how they could have formed. We also see a stunning image of the Orion Nebula, where they were found. This discovery is important and interesting because it challenges our understanding of star and planet formation, and reveals new possibilities for the diversity and evolution of planetary systems.
