Here are today’s most important updates from the realm of Science and Space. Cosmic Rebel: Rogue Planet Starts Acting Like a Star, Baffles Scientists In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have found that a rogue planet named Cha 1107-7626 was behaving remarkably like a star. This planet is estimated to be 5-10 times bigger than Jupiter and located about 620 light-years away in the constellation Chamaeleon. Yet it doesn't orbit a star, making it a free-floating planetary-mass object. The planet is devouring gas from its surrounding disk at an astonishing rate of six billion tonnes per second, a behaviour typically seen in young stars. Cha 1107-7626's behaviour blurs lines between planets and stars, and suggests that the formation processes might be more universal than previously thought. However, the scientists suspect strong magnetic fields are driving this growth, similar to those found in stars. New Report Reveals: A Planet-Friendly Diet Could Save ...
