Detection a new type of planets 'solitary'

An international team of astronomers has exposed a new type of planets that emerge to float alone in space. It is dark ten bodies from the mass of Jupiter, which are far from any star. Scientists believe these huge objects without company may have been ejected from their planetary systems. The research appears in the journal Nature.

A planet expelled from the Solar System

New research suggest that one fifth giant planet, the other four are Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune, was disqualified from our system about 4,000 million years. That mysterious world today could be thousands of light years away and, which is just as surprising, it is possible to have moons that, if they meet the appropriate conditions are still warm enough to support life. A summary of the study can be found at arXiv.org.

In the solar system shown a new planet

Exposed a new category of planets appear to suggest alone in space. This is called roaming worlds, which, far from any star, wandering through interstellar space after being ejected from planetary systems in which they formed. Now, new research from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggests that these worlds’ nomads can find a new home with a different sun. He even claims that billions of stars in our galaxy may have caught wandering planets. This finding, which will be published in the journal Astrophysical Journal, could explain the existence of planets orbiting some surprisingly far from their stars, and even the existence of a double planet.
