There are planetary shaped and sized bodies in space that are not in orbit around anything, will never be in orbit and aren't going to become stars, they are this other class of thing that are just 'there'

An electron microscope is used to view things with details to be resolved smaller than the wavelength of light…

Weirder still, they've found pairs in orion that are in orbit around each other.

I guess they were not ejected as pairs, but when drifting in the void, and being huge, if they came 'close' enough to each other both thier respective gravity would eventualy pull them into orbit round each other to form a binary planet?

Giraffes aren't really tall, they just have long necks.
