Free-floating, planetary mass objects are bodies with around 13 times the mass of Jupiter that are often found drifting through young star clusters.

They could be forged when flattened clouds of gas and dust called "circumstellar disks" around infant stars violently interact.

The discovery of 40 pairs of JuMBOs in Orion suggests whatever created them is more common than a one -off event.
