It’s all fun and games until one smashes into someone’s trailer.

Great, another thing to worry about.

Picture this, you and the bois mobbin' over to Wolf 359 for some tasty sushi in your Elon-12 and bam! You get turned into squid sauce yourself by a rogue planet that wasn't even supposed to be in that lane... :-)

newborn planets continue to glow with residual heat for many millions of years.

So, like flaming globes?

I'm glad Sigmund is finally taking my research seriously.

I doubt that any planet has any “aim”.

And how about Pluto? Pluto is more of a planet than the objects described so passionately in the article. Pluto continues to orbit the Sun. These woe-beggotten “rogues” don’t orbit anything.

Hopefully, the new Webb Infra-red telescope will be able to see them all very clearly...............

The nearest stars ordered mandatory medical experimentation, and the planets said “f&^% this, we are outta here”!

This might be the key to populating the universe. There is no way we can get from earth to the nearest star in a single lifetime but we might be able to find an inhabitable planet close enough to make the trip. Of course it would be very cold.

Gravitationally there must be a 9th planet not a minor planet like Pluto. Or so say most planetary astronomers. It has to be relatively large to explain the actions of the other planets (I’m not an astronomer nor do I play one on TV). It is suspected of having a very elliptical orbit and it currently out at its apogee making it difficult to locate. Or so they say.

Just saying.
