This week, explore the oldest known traces of humans in the Americas, celebrate the Nobel Prize winners, explore planetlike objects in the Orion Nebula, and more.
As humans, we’ve left our mark on every place we’ve been — including other worlds. Rover tracks crisscross the red surface of Mars, and iconic boot prints from the Apollo era still dot the moon. Closer to home, footprints across the globe have revealed the presence of different species over time, including dinosaurs kneeling in the mud and the tracks of unknown human ancestors.
The pairs, dubbed Jupiter Mass Binary Objects, or JuMBOs, have masses between 0.6 and 13 times the mass of Jupiter and appear to defy some fundamental astronomical theories. And scientists aren’t sure how the JuMBOs formed or why they’re inside the nebula. “The main thing that we learn from this is that there is something fundamentally wrong with either our understanding of planet formation, star formation, or both,” said Samuel G. Pearson, a research fellow at the European Space Agency.
