'Nature is clever; it can produce planets in a range of different ways,' said Thayne Currie, a lead researcher on the study. FOX13

"In this method, instead of having a planet that grows and builds up from a small core accumulating matter and gas, the protoplanetary disk around a star cools, and gravity causes it to break up into one or more planet-mass fragments," NASA wrote in a press release Monday. "Nature is clever; it can produce planets in a range of different ways," offered Thayne Currie, a lead researcher on the study.
NASA noted that Hubble’s longevity of 32 years in orbit played an important role in helping the team measure the protoplanet’s orbit
