Planet with no star found

Posted on by

By Dan Satherley Researchers have spotted a planet hurtling through space without a parent star. The gas giant, between four and seven times the size of Jupiter, is the first of its kind to be discovered beyond any doubt. Normally exoplanets are found by analysing a star’s wobble caused by its planets’ gravitational pull, and the light they block when they pass in front of the star. Continue reading →

‘Orphan’ alien planet is found nearby

Astronomers have discovered a potential “rogue” alien planet wandering alone just 100 light-years from Earth, suggesting that such starless worlds may be extremely common across the galaxy. The free-floating object, called CFBDSIR2149, is likely a gas giant planet four to seven times more massive than Jupiter, scientists say in a new study unveiled Wednesday. Continue reading →

Orphan world spotted in deep space

Posted on by

PARIS (AFP) – Astronomers on Wednesday reported they had detected a planet that had strayed from its star system and was wandering alone in deep space. Object CFBDSIR2149 is believed to be a cold, young world that for unknown reasons has pulled free of the gravitational pull of its mother star, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) said. It is not the first time that a “free-floating” planet has been found, but this one is the closest that has ever been spotted, at over 100 light years from Earth Continue reading →

"Orphan" Alien Planet Found Nearby without Parent Star

The massive exoplanet, which is likely four to seven times the size of Jupiter, is just 100 light-years from Earth By Mike Wall and SPACE.com GOING ROGUE: This artist’s impression shows the free-floating planet CFBDSIR2149, at 100 light-years away the closest such “rogue” world to our own solar system. It does not orbit a star and hence does not shine by reflected light; the faint glow it emits can only be detected in infrared light. Image: ESO/L Continue reading →

Rogue Planet Larger Than Jupiter Discovered 100 Light-Years from Earth

Posted on by

Space.com is reporting that scientists at the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble, France, have discovered a “rogue planet” — that is to say a planet that is drifting in interstellar space, not as part of a star system. The rogue planet was discovered by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The French scientists then examined the body’s properties with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. Continue reading →

Milky Way's Birth Record Not So Unique After All

November 3, 2012 Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports Your Universe Online The formative stages of the Milky Way, once believed to have taken far longer to occur than other solar systems, may not have been as unique as scientists had previously thought, according to the authors of a new study. Writing in the journal Science, researchers from the Centre for Star and Planet Formation at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen report they have discovered a pair of vastly different materials, long believed to have been formed one after another, were actually formed more closely together chronologically than previous research had revealed Continue reading →
