This is Dr Walt with insights from C.T.V.
We always think of a planet is orbiting a central star we've got
a pretty good example right here astronomers can also see other stars with planets
circling around them the planets are made from leftover materials that form the
central star however astronomers can also see that most solar systems have more
than one star at the center usually it's
a medium sized orange star like our own sun with its companion being either
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
southern Constellation the raido have better identified about four times the mass
of Jupiter the road planet was created from the leftovers of star formation as
usual but then it somehow never was pulled into the gravitational fields of the
nearby stars and continues floating along on its own they can only be night on such
a planet no sunrise sunset or sunshine to run whatever life forms that are trying
to get started there liquid such as water would probably be frozen minimizing the
chances of life starting up those who dream of someday traveling to
a nearby star now have
a new navigational problem after the rocket sends the ship on its way the engines
are shut off so that most of the time it is coasting and the spacecraft however
would have to avoid
a rogue planet and its gravitational field to stay on course that means carrying
extra fuel multiple rogue planets means carrying so much fuel that the whole
enterprise would probably become impossible. Superman Mabel able to leap over
buildings of
a single but will have to dodge road planets on our way of the stars as Dr Weil
