There May Be More Planets Than Stars in Our Galaxy - Facts with Neil

Not every planet orbits a star.

Scientists studying gravitational microlensing have found evidence that the Milky Way may contain billions to trillions of rogue planets — worlds torn away from their suns during violent cosmic encounters.

These planets drift through interstellar space in complete darkness, unseen unless they pass in front of a distant star and briefly warp its light. Some may even have underground oceans heated by internal energy, raising strange questions about where life could exist.

At Facts With Neil, we explore the universe beyond what we can easily see — and what it means for our place in it.
