A young rogue planet, 620 light-years away, is growing rapidly by consuming gas and dust at a record pace, new observations show.
Astronomers have detected a young rogue planet, Cha 1107-7626, about 620 light-years away, consuming gas and dust at a record rate of six billion tons per second—eight times faster than previously seen—during a surge in August 2025.
The planet, five to ten times Jupiter’s mass and one to two million years old, is still growing through a process resembling star formation, likely aided by strong magnetic fields.
Observed with the Very Large Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope, its activity challenges the notion that rogue planets are inactive, revealing dynamic, star-like behavior in a free-floating world.
