Transcript of “JuMBOS, Jupiter Mass Binary Objects”
Lots of exciting news in the world of astronomy, and one thing that I’ve been struck by is the fact that astronomers have spotted nearly 150 objects way out in space, and they’re baffled because these objects are too small to be called stars, but they can’t be called planets either because they don’t orbit a star.
And they’re all about the size of Jupiter. But given what we know, these things simply should not exist.
And I was delighted to learn the other day that they’re calling these mystery items Jupiter Mass Binary Objects. And the acronym for that is JUMBOS. That’s a fantastic name for them. So well done.
My stars, that’s delightful. My stars.
