Stars get ripped open like Christmas presents to create strange 'JuMBO' worlds

Astronomers have solved the mystery of JuMBOs, strange celestial objects that seem not to be planets or stars.

The theory revolves around "photo erosion," a process during which massive and violent stars, O-type or B-type stellar objects, blast other stars with high-energy radiation to strip away their outer layers.

This idea fits because the star-forming Orion nebula is replete with hot and massive OB stars.

Planets often "go rogue" and get ejected from planetary systems by gravitational interactions.

The JWST found 42 pairs of JuMBOs in one nebula alone.

The theory rules out the need to think of them as 'rogues' because they form like stars.

It is then the violent radiation from other, more massive stars erode this much of this mass away.

The researchers say the radiation from these stars erodes the mass of these massive stars.
