Space pebbles and rocks play pivotal role in giant planet's formation



London, UK (SPX) Jun 04, 2025
Scientists analysing an ultra-hot giant planet believe it was formed by absorbing lightweight gases like methane evaporating from tiny space pebbles, whilst being bombarded with large rocky objects.
