Astronomers have spotted more strange "free-floating" planets that could roam deep space untethered to any star.
While we might think that planets must need to orbit some kind of star, astronomers have detected such orphaned "rogues" before . And a new study uses data collected by NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope to identify other possible exoplanets roaming freely on their own.

(CNN) Skywatchers are in for an (inter)stellar treat this week. Look up and you can gaze upon a dazzling view of Venus, Mars and the moon Monday and Tuesday nights, according to EarthSky .
Four 'toddler' exoplanets discovered orbiting stars 130 light years from Earth - ABC
Astronomers say the discovery of four "energetic toddler" planets, far beyond our solar system, could provide new insights into how Earth evolved.
One exoplanet, about twice the size of Earth, orbits the star TOI 1807 in just 13 hours, creating a "lava world" with a constantly evaporating atmosphere.

Several players report that ever since that update, the game is going through data way faster than before, which could be a problem for players that do not have unlimited data plans. Besides this, it drops the battery percentage too.
There could be rogue Earths wandering in space without a star system
When planets go rogue , they usually end up wandering through the cosmos on their own because the gravitational forces of larger planets kicked them out of their star system. There are probably more of them out there than we think.
Because of unexpected signals that emerged from data beamed back by the now-defunct Kepler space telescope (RIP), there is now new evidenc e for a population of "rogue" planets that are unattached to any star system. Rogue planet signals are elusive.
Which planet is habitable?
Researchers believe this will help maintain the Earth’s oxygen levels. The study was presented at the 2021 Goldsmith Geochemistry Conference. Studies so far have found more than 4,700 exoplanets in 3,500 planetary systems. Of these, more than 800 have more than one planet.
Dennis Mammana: Four Planets and a Moon Enter the Picture This Week | Outdoors - Noozhawk.com
Last week, I showed you how to spot the elusive planet Mercury , the nearest planet to the sun . This week, you can easily see the rest of the inner solar system , and you don’t have to rise before dawn!
If you’ve been out on these warm summer evenings, you’ve probably noticed a brilliant light low in the western sky at dusk. Readers of this column almost certainly recognize it as the planet Venus .
