The six rogue worlds spotted are all a bit bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. The powerful James Webb Telescope was able to see through the dust, obscuring the nebula thanks to its ability to observe in infrared light. With these observations, astronomers are able to get some insight into how stars and other celestial objects form.
Nebulas like this one contain newborn stars, brown dwarfs, and other celestial objects like the rogue worlds. These worlds are the objects in the nebula with the lowest mass and are created by a process that can also form stars. Meanwhile, brown dwarfs fall somewhere in the middle, with not as much mass as a star but more mass than planets.
