Astronomers Detect Up to 170 Rogue Planets Hurtling Aimlessly Through Space

This calls for a Galactic education program to provide guidance for these wayward objects. Surely some democrat can figure out a way to appropriate trillions for this.

No they’re fleeing the core explosion.😜

Could be another star ripped the planet from it’s orbit from it’s star and the civilization on that planet froze. I have read science fiction stories like this like “When Worlds Collide” and “After World’s Collide”.

A great plat for a Sci-Fi movie!

Of all the things I never would have guessed, planets running hurdles is right up there at the top.

But, I guess it’s better than planets doing long jump. That would be... impactful.

“When Worlds Collide” was one such. The two books sucked, really hard, and yet somehow the movie was worse.

I really liked the books “When Worlds Collide” and “After Worlds Collide” ... I just had to keep my mind on the fact that it was science fiction written well befor World War II ...
