      Only 10k light years! Oh boy! Can’t wait to visit! Booking now! Where my girlies at?! Its gonna be like an artic expedition in the dead of winter!!!!

      free floating, as in not in really in orbit of anything? wouldn’t that make it basically impossible to sustain life?

      edit: i love space shit, its so damn fucking interesting to read up on but its also fucking pointless to some degree because for one, most likely we will not be going anywhere anytime soon further out than mars as humanity physically . there is like more planets than the grains of sand on earth but nothing outside of our solar system is even remotely possible to visit.

      with how greedy humans can be i am surprised they havent made moves to move people to mars and the moon yet long term.

      It’s kinda scary how many of these rogue exoplanets probably exist. I’d really like to know how common it is for planets to get ejected, and how likely it is that it could happen to Earth some day.

      EDIT: downvotes? oh this is r-worldnews. OK bots, you can stop downvoting me, this has nothing to do with my opinion on Israel

      Fred Trump’s birth planet! Trump always wanted to go home! Release the files first……….

      I know these exoplanets usually wander indefinitely, but still kinda wild this thing could eventually enter a new solar system and shift all the other planets speed and orbit. (or even collide with another planet and destroy it)

      If I learned anything in the Universe Simulator on steam, its that a relatively small anomaly can pass through our solar system randomly and fuck up everything and it might not be fast. Slight adjustment in orbital pattern rubber band into planets being shot all
      Over the place.

      Editor’s summary: Gravitational microlensing causes the apparent brightness of a background star to vary when a foreground object passes across our line of sight. The mass and distance of the lensing object are usually degenerate parameters. Dong et al. have identified a microlensing event caused by a planetary-mass object with no associated host star (see the Perspective by Coleman). By combining observations from Earth and a distant spacecraft, the mass-distance degeneracy can be broken, allowing for measurement of the lensing object’s mass, which is similar to Saturn’s. The researchers argue that this free-floating object did not form in isolation but was ejected from a host planetary system by dynamical interactions.

      That’s no exoplanet. It’s a space station.

      I have a bad feeling about this.

      I can only imagine how many planets out there that have been flung from their star systems.
