Scientists report 10 Jupiter-mass objects detected by gravitational microlensing in the Milky Way. Each object shows no nearby star within 10 astronomical units, implying either distant or no stellar orbit. If bound, they orbit far from stars. if free-floating, they challenge current planet formation theories.

Judgment Day or just another day this Saturday
The loosely organized Christian movement predicts Jesus Christ will return on Saturday to gather the faithful, a claim rejected by many Christians. Harold Camping, 89, founder of Family Radio Worldwide, cites numerology and world events like Israels 1948 founding as backing. Critics, including Rev Tim LaHaye, warn no one knows the day or hour while supporters plan parties and events amid skepticism.
