Discovery of Jupiter-like lonely planet in the Milky Way
Astronomers have just discovered a new "lonely planet" floating in the middle of Jupiter-like galaxy.
This planet seems to be isolated and far away from the stars. It floated freely between the space and size comparable to our Jupiter.
According to scientists, these "lonely planets" like this are quite common in the universe, but they are difficult to identify. Until now, astronomers have only discovered about 10 planets like this.
They can float because they are relatively small in volume. Some are even thought to be quite warm enough to facilitate life.
