The Search For Rogue Planets Is Over | 170 Terrifying Planets JUST DISCOVERED

Space Is Filled With Billions of Hidden ‘Rogue’ Planets And We Might Soon Be Able to See Them!

The mention of a “rogue planet” may conjure up images of the Death Star, but we should be happy that what astronomers have found is nothing of the sort.

Up to 170 of these vagrants are in our cosmic backyard, and surprised researchers say there may be billions of them floating around our Milky Way, completely free of host stars.
What does this mean? For one, what was recently thought to be a rather rare find now seems like anything but. So how did astronomers locate this treasure trove of celestial oddities in our neighborhood, and what can we hope to learn from them?
We look at what we know about these planets, how do we learn more about these outcasts, and what can the study of rogue planets tell us about our own origins?
