Rogue Planets News

JWST,Earth,Phil Plait

I've covered science, technology, the environment and politics for outlets including CNET, PC World, Inc., Wired, AOL and NPR. I'm passionate about decentralizing all the things, from journalism to energy to Artificial Intelligence.

The more we look into space with increasingly sensitive tools like NASA’s James Webb Telescope and other tech advances here on Earth, the more interesting objects we find floating through what looks less and less like an endless void.

“And it makes me wonder… I used to speculate that there might be a brown dwarf closer to us in space than even the Alpha Centauri system,”. “Maybe there’s a rogue planet out there, smaller and cooler, that is fainter and escaped our attention. It’s possible, I’d wager.”
