Rogue planet
Videos
A rogue planet, also termed a free-floating planet or an isolated planetary-mass object, is an interstellar object of planetary mass which is not gravitationally bound to any star or brown dwarf.

Brown dwarf

Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that have more mass than the biggest gas giant planets, but less than the least massive main-sequence stars. Their mass is approximately 13 to 80 times that of Jupi
Rogue planet
…planet (FFP) or an isolated planetary-mass object (iPMO), is an interstellar object of planetary mass which is not gravitationally bound to any star or brown dwarf. Rogue planets may originate from planetary systems in which they are formed and later ejected, or they can also form on their own, outside a planetary…
