Rogue Planet: Recently, scientists of the European Space Agency have discovered seven new ‘stray’ planets through the Euclid Space Telescope. These planets do not revolve around their Sun like our Earth. They are floating freely here and there in the universe. There is never day on them, there is darkness throughout the year i.e. there is night. In such a situation, despite the darkness on these planets, the possibility of life is being expressed here. These can shed light on the mysteries of such worlds, where life may already exist. These planets are 1500 light years away from Earth.
Scientists said that even though these ‘stray’ planets are isolated in space, scientists feel that life may be possible here or it may also be possible that they may already exist here, i.e. aliens. Life exists there. According to researchers, such ‘stray’ rogue planets are present in our Milky Way. The European Space Agency reported that each of these seven new free-floating planets has a mass four times that of Jupiter.
Habitable ‘stray’ planets?
Astronomer Gavin Coleman of Queen Mary University of London told many interesting things while talking about ‘stray’ planets. While talking about these planets, a Spanish astronomer Eduardo Martin said that their shape is like the upper part of an iceberg.
revolve around each other
Coleman said, ‘We have all grown up seeing the sun in the sky, we cannot imagine that there would be a star in space on which life would be possible. All these ‘stray’ planets do not live alone but in binary systems, in which two planets orbit each other.
Are many stray planets present?
Habitable environments for humans on these planets could have a significant impact on the search for extraterrestrial life. Martin said, ‘Some of our nearest neighboring planets are probably ‘vagrant’ planets.’ It is believed that such planets are cold from inside and any energy that supports life in them does not come from any star but from inside them.
How is life possible in the dark
Just as there are geothermal vents on Earth that allow dark life to flourish, these ‘wanderers’ may indicate the possibility of similar conditions thriving. There is a possibility of promotion of bacterial and microbial life here.
