Rogue planet

Researchers say a region known as the Galactic bulge may be home to a Neptune-sized planet, while the galaxy’s disk may host a planet with a similar mass to Earth’s.

Asteroids, rogue planets, black holes, and incineration by the sun are just a few ways life on Earth could meet its ultimate demise.

Scientists using the Kepler telescope have found a new population of rogue planets, or free-floating planets, unconnected to any star.

“On march 23rd 2178 Pluto will complete only its first full orbit around the sun since its discovery!”

Deepen your understanding of the natural world by learning about biology, chemistry, physics, and geology.

This is according to Sean Raymond, an astrophysicist at the Astrophysics Laboratory in Bordeaux, who says the internal heat of the planets may allow life to form.

The new chip will let astronomers peer through the dust cloud in which new planets are forming, like how firefighters use infrared to see through smoke.

Astronomers have discovered an object outside the solar system with an aurora... and it may be a rogue planet.

Researchers announced the discovery of the new planet that's so gigantic, they're not really sure if it even qualifies as a planet, this week

A rogue planet is a free floating planet. It does not orbit a star. Even so, it can be within an artificial Habitable Zone. More details are available here. Rogue planet are of two origins. Some of them have been ejected from their host stars by gravitational perturbations. Others can be created from small clouds of gas and dust, similar to a star formation. If the planets are still warm, they are Hot planets. However, without a source of fusion, temperature will decrease dramatically. It is…
