Webb telescope spots six rogue worlds within a glowing cosmic cloud [Video]

Astronomers have spotted six rogue worlds or cosmic objects that don’t orbit stars, using the James Webb Space Telescope.Video above: Webb Telescope detects chemical ingredients in stars The celestial bodies are slightly bigger than Jupiter, and the observations are shedding light on how stars and planets form across the universe.The Webb telescope peered into a star-forming nebula, or a cloud of gas and dust, named NGC 1333 located 960 light-years away within a larger gas and dust cloud called the Perseus molecular cloud. Turbulence inside the nebula creates knots that collapse due to gravity, giving birth to stars.The space observatory captured a dramatic, glowing image of the cosmic cloud. While the Hubble Space Telescope has previously captured images of the nebula, dust obscured its view of the star formation process.But Webb — which is capable of observing the universe in infrared light — was able to look right through the …
