Can we send liberals there?

I’ve long suspected that there were lots of nomads out there and I believe captured nomads could explain some of the exoplanets we’ve found with retrograde or wildly tilted orbits.

[sawmill trash]

That’s no planet ... it’s a space staion !

[Pharmboy]

Lars von Trier’s weird, incredible movie, “Melancholia” deals with one of these rogue planets entering our solar system. Kirsten Dunst and Kiefer Sutherland are the headliners. Netflix has it.

Very cool.

“An Orphaned Planet Without A Parent Star”

Soon to be a Disney movie.

[cripplecreek]

I even came up with my vision of what these nomads might be like (mine has moons)

[dirtboy]

Imagine a lost world, in the coldest depths of space.

Nice rendering.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

Very impressive, CC.

[BenLurkin]

Nice.

Maybe they can find a natural gas deposit, place a constricter cone on it pointing up, and throw a match into it. That planet might behave like a balloon after letting go of the neck.

Now,a little guidance, and voila! an intersteller cruiser.

"Very cool."

Sort of a grand understatement - that is, in terms of temperature.

On a free floating planet in deep space far from a sun the temperature would be about -459° Fahrenheit, -273° Celsius, or 0° on the Kelvin scale.

The temperature in deep space is thought to be 0° Kelvin, for the most part. So any such planet in deep space would be more than just frozen...

[cripplecreek]

Wait a minute...

[jonno]

Frozen - a fun word to use to pull kids into a science discussion...

[Shadowstrike]

I just want to know which way it’s “wandering”.
