Read more A NEWLY discovered rogue planet without a host star like the sun to orbit around has been detected dashing through space on its lonesome. These planets - also known as free-floating planets - are practically invisible because they have no star sunlight reflecting on them and no light of their own. Although they're currently impossible... Show less
