New research has found the lightest free-floating object yet that formed like a star and it’s only five times the mass of Jupiter .

Planets form bottom-up, stars form top-down, while brown dwarfs form top down.

The smallest object was 1,600 times mass of the Earth (the Sun is 330,000 times more massive than our planet) It could be possible for these planetary-mass objects to make their own planets from material forming around them.
