Astronomers have found 10 potential planets as massive as Jupiter wandering through a slice of the Milky Way galaxy, following either very wide orbits or no orbit at all. And scientists think they are more common than the stars.

| lasombra User ID: 2920692 11/14/2012 10:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There was a huge flap in the 1930's about a small rogue planet being on a collision course with Earth. I can't seem to find a thing about it now. Same one? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2920692 Does anyone remember reading something about it? Could it be you're thinking of two big best sellers of the early 1930s: When Worlds Collide and After Worlds Collide by Wylie and Ballmer. The first book was made into a movie by George Pal in the early fifties. No, this wasn't from a novel. I'll check around again for some credible source. Ran across reference to it in an old news story sometime in the late 90's. Can't seem to find a lot of information that was readily available back then though... A real head scratcher sometimes. .

| Digital mix guy User ID: 2697853 11/14/2012 12:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LA Times. Giant rogue planet, without a home star, may roam nearby heavens. The super-Jupiter, called CFBDSIR2149, has a mass four to seven times that of our own gas giant, and is probably a scorching 800 or so degrees Fahrenheit. It appears to sit in a moving group of stars that, at a rough distance of 65 light-years, is just a cosmic stone’s throw away from us. Scientists first discovered the apparent planet using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii, while conducting a survey of brown dwarfs, "failed" stars that aren’t massive enough to start the nuclear fusion in their cores that would allow them to shine. The study authors are only 87% sure it’s traveling together with the AB Doradus Moving Group and isn't simply crossing paths. They'll need to keep watching CFBDSIR2149 before they can say for sure that it's a planet. There’s also a possibility the object is a brown dwarf, which would still be interesting, but for very different reasons, Veillet said.
