AFP Astronomers have detected a free-floating planet, Cha 1107-7626, drawing in gas and dust at a rate of about 6 billion tons per second, an observation that challenges current ideas about how planets and stars form. The finding was made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, with additional data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), according to the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Cha 1107-7626 is located roughly 620 light-years away in the constellation Chamaeleon.
