Unlike Earth and other planets in our solar system, which orbit the sun, rogue planets float freely through the universe untethered to a star.


How does gravity work on a rogue planet that's not tethered to a star?

Not true. It is still a planet. The very definition of a "rogue planet" is a planet that does not orbit a star.


It's gotta be orbiting something. Even if it's some super irregular path.

A mysterious "rogue planet" has been observed gobbling 6 billion tons of gas and dust a second — an unprecedented rate


Unprecedented by the same folks that don’t know how hot or cold it was 300+ years ago right here on planet earth.

Fun fact: the voice of Unicron was Orson Welles, in his last film role.

Did not know that!

If you knew that, you probably already know the music is from Vince Dicola (mostly known for the for Rocky 4 soundtrack).
