NEW YORK – Are these planets without orbits? 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.

Re: Rogue wandering Planet discovered.
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?

Does anyone remember reading something about it?
hmm

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.
 Quoting: Redstorm2000


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.

If it is 100 light years away, and heading directly for us, it will take about 1 billion years to get here.

Re: Rogue wandering Planet discovered.
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.

Got it: it was the asteroid Hermes in 1937. This is an extract from a NASA site::

"On Oct. 28, 1937, astronomer Karl Reinmuth of Heidelberg noticed an odd streak of light in a picture he had just taken of the night sky. About as bright as a 9th magnitude star, it was an asteroid, close to Earth and moving fast--so fast that he named it Hermes, the herald of Olympian gods. On Oct. 30, 1937, Hermes glided past Earth only twice as far away as the Moon, racing across the sky at a rate of 5 degrees per hour. Nowadays only meteors and Earth-orbiting satellites move faster.
Plenty of asteroids were known in 1937, but most were plodding members of the asteroid belt far beyond Mars. Hermes was different. It visited the inner solar system. It crossed Earth's orbit. It proved that asteroids could come perilously close to our planet. And when they came, they came fast.
Reinmuth observed Hermes for five days. Then, to make a long story short, he lost it."
