Lone wandering planets?
http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...ay_031215.html
The above link talks about what constitutes a planet. However one interesting line they put in was: "In contrast, there are observational hints of lone, wandering planets not hosted by any star. " What observational hints? I've never heard of this before. Has someone observed a huge rock floating through interestellar space? I'm sure they exist, but has someone seen one? Or how do they get an "observational hint"? Yousuf Khan
