PARIS - Astronomers say they have discovered a giant planet-palnet has no parent star.
After searching for two years, found 10 Jupiter-sized giant planets in nearby star, but some of them floating freely in the Milky Way, aka do not have a parent star. Similarly, as quoted by AFP on Thursday (19/05/2011).
The study, published in the science journal Nature, provides new insights on knowledge of the planet. There are more than 500 planets found with no star since 1995, but this finding is the first time discovered a planet without a huge star.
Planetary theory states that planets form from dust and gas from their star. The journal Nature said that starless planets may be the planet that has a very far distance from their stars, until no longer affected by gravity,
The study, written in the scientific journal Nature, written by two teams which use gravity to analyze the micro level of 10 million stars in the Milky Way galaxy in the past two years.
