The researchers suggest that this type of world may a result of large hot Jupiter exoplanets migrating toward their host star. Exoplanet surveys have detected several such planets, and its believed that they likely formed at a greater distance from their respective stars and then slowly crept inward.
When that happens, its possible that the change in gravitational forces would prompt large moons to break free from their existing orbits and become standalone worlds of their own. Computer simulations showed that this could indeed happen, and in those cases, the researchers believe we should call them ploonets.
Remarkably, our own Moon might one day become a ploonet itself. The Moon is slowly creeping away from Earth at a very slow rate, and its possible that it will eventually enter a much less stable orbit and even go solo. Future generations might see the birth of a ploonet happen before their very eyes.

Song that goes with that picture -- "Third Finger, Left Hand"
The attorney I knew about, I'll have to check out the Smog Strangler episode sometime; his was the voice of the guy who'd ordered the kosher meal when Elaine was flying to Europe, and in the original introduction to the Newman character, his voice is used for Newman in the original version, but it was dubbed for reruns after Wayne became a regular and visible character.
[And hes there when Kramer gets arrested as the smog stranger.]
I missed that one!!
By golly. One of the neighbors?
I never even noticed Jerry and George!
Is that the old woman who was the actress with the Three Stooges?
