Findings: This 1-2 million-year-old, 5-10 Jupiter-mass rogue ramped up growth 8x from steady to frenzy, with a 2016 repeat—plus first-ever water vapor detection in its disk during the spurt.

Astronomers at Italy's Palermo Astronomical Observatory, using the Very Large Telescope and JWST, caught Cha 1107-7626 (620 light-years away) in a record-breaking accretion burst, gobbling 6.6 billion tons of gas and dust per second.

Rogue planets—lonely worlds drifting starless through space—were thought to grow slowly, if at all.
But what if one mimics a star's explosive birth?

For over a century since Einstein's 1915 prediction, black hole collisions seemed like science fiction—until LIGO's first detection in 2015.
But how frequent are these cosmic crashes?
