Skowron / OGLE)Scientists have unearthed a rogue planet that appears to be floating through space with no star. ‌But now, scientists have been left baffled by this new discovery, as it appears to have no host star to connect itself to. Astronomers have said the universe is filled these rogue planets as they float across space with no specific route. This method is only able to be used when a rogue planet managed to pass between Earth and another star in the distance. This still makes the rogue planet incredibly huge and could easily dwarf the Earth with its size.
