Researchers spot Saturn-sized planet in the “Einstein desert” https://arstechni.ca/s5q8 #microlensing #rogueplanets #exoplanets #astronomy #Science

"That finding implies a dynamic, ever-changing sky where cloud decks ***form and dissolve across the globe in just hours***. The study’s models indicate that deeper layers contain iron clouds under forsterite ones, with temperatures ranging from 1,000 to 1,300 Kelvin. These layers shimmer and shift, generating light curves that pulse in rhythm with the planet’s rotation"

They don’t orbit stars. They don’t glow. There might be billions of them. Rogue planets drift through the dark - frozen, silent and maybe alive. You're not ready for how weird this gets. #RoguePlanets #SpaceNerd #Astrobiology #CosmicMystery #Space #Universe #ScienceContent

Телескоп Евклид открыл 7 новых планет одиночек.

Планеты одиночки — это не привязанные гравитацией ни к одной звезде планеты (разве что к чёрной дыре в середине галактики). Не смотря на вечную — из-за отсутствия звезды-хозяйки — ночь на таких планетах, учёные всё равно считают, что на некоторых из них может быть жизнь, а самих таких планет могут быть триллионы, хоть и засечь их довольно трудно: большинство методов основывается на пристальном наблюдении за звездой-хозяйкой, которой в этом случае нет. Но большинство таких планет — это горячие газовые гиганты, так и не ставшие звёздами, поэтому новые инструменты могут их находить.

Миссия "Евклид" Европейского Космического Агентства, запущенная в прошлом июле, объявила, что обнаружила 7 новых планет и подтвердила существование десятков других. 4 из подтверждённых одиночек на самом деле являются парами: это двойные без-звёздные системы.

Hundreds of Free-Floating Planets Found in the Orion Nebula

New data from JWST have revealed 540 planetary-mass objects in the Orion Nebula and Trapezium Cluster. The masses of these objects are well below the traditional cutoff for a deuterium-burning brown dwarf, even down to 0.6 Jupiter mass - not much more massive than Saturn. Many of these objects are in wide binaries with stars, which challenges current theories of star and planetary formation, which would expect to find planets close to their stars. Is this how rogue planets form?

New study reveals NASA's roman could find 400 earth-mass rogue planets
New research by scientists from NASA and Japan’s Osaka University suggests that our galaxy’s rogue planets far outnumber the hundred billion or so worlds that orbit stars. The results imply that NASA’s Roman Space Telescope could find a staggering 4

"Imagine a #galaxy filled with roaming, dark, lifeless island worlds – rogue, free-floating #planets (#FFPs) without the life-giving light of an #alien host #star. Welcome to the Milky Way Galaxy. #Astronomers suggest that there may be more rogue planets than there are stars in the Milky Way."
