This is Dr Walt with insights from C.T.V.

00:00:22,08 --> 00:00:25,75
We always think of a planet is
orbiting a central star we've got

3
00:00:25,76 --> 00:00:30,44
a pretty good example right here astronomers
can also see other stars with planets

4
00:00:30,45 --> 00:00:34,66
circling around them the planets are made
from leftover materials that form the

5
00:00:34,67 --> 00:00:39,70
central star however astronomers can also
see that most solar systems have more

6
00:00:39,71 --> 00:00:42,31
than one star at the center usually it's

7
00:00:42,32 --> 00:00:46,67
a medium sized orange star like our own
sun with its companion being either

8
00:00:46,68 --> 00:00:51,86
a large red giant or a smaller star
called the Blue dwarf Recently

a new actor has entered on the stage road
planets free floating planets in the

00:00:56,59 --> 00:01:01,18
southern Constellation the raido have
better identified about four times the mass

11
00:01:01,19 --> 00:01:05,76
of Jupiter the road planet was created
from the leftovers of star formation as

12
00:01:05,77 --> 00:01:10,36
usual but then it somehow never was pulled
into the gravitational fields of the

13
00:01:10,37 --> 00:01:16,39
nearby stars and continues floating along
on its own they can only be night on such

14
00:01:16,40 --> 00:01:21,08
a planet no sunrise sunset or sunshine to
run whatever life forms that are trying

15
00:01:21,09 --> 00:01:25,93
to get started there liquid such as water
would probably be frozen minimizing the

16
00:01:25,94 --> 00:01:30,64
chances of life starting up those
who dream of someday traveling to

17
00:01:30,65 --> 00:01:31,92
a nearby star now have

18
00:01:31,93 --> 00:01:37,17
a new navigational problem after the rocket
sends the ship on its way the engines

19
00:01:37,18 --> 00:01:41,98
are shut off so that most of the time it
is coasting and the spacecraft however

20
00:01:41,99 --> 00:01:42,99
would have to avoid

21
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:48,32
a rogue planet and its gravitational field
to stay on course that means carrying

22
00:01:48,33 --> 00:01:53,49
extra fuel multiple rogue planets means
carrying so much fuel that the whole

23
00:01:53,50 --> 00:01:58,88
enterprise would probably become impossible.
