The study was led by Iain McDonald from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom (now at the Open University in the U.K. () Tantalising evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious. NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope caught a glimpse of four free-floating planets in deep space that appeared to be wandering all alone unbounded to any star. RAS Kepler telescope glimpses population of free-floating planets SciTechDaily Mysterious Population of Rogue Planets Spotted Near the Center of Our Galaxy Gizmodo. But if confirmed, they will have a dramatic impact on our understanding of both how planets form, but also our estimates of just how many might be lurking in the vast dark between stars. Kepler telescope glimpses population of free-floating planets. Speculation about rogue planets has existed for decades, and while we’re getting closer to definitively saying that they do exist, these microlensing events are only tentative proof. Finding Earth 2.0 is not easy and showing these exoplanets have life too.Tantalizing evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of free-floating. Not only is Nancy Grace specifically designed to detect rogue planets using the technique in the paper (and which Kepler was very clearly not designed for), there is an ESA mission called Euclid, that will hopefully launch sometime next year, which is also tailored to search for microlensing events. Tantalising evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of 'free-floating' planets, planets that may be alone in deep space, unbound to any host star. Most likely, these new potential rogue planets will be the beginning of a wave of new discoveries.
