Another interesting thing that fits conviniently into this: Orion,
strange gassy planets on...read it for yourself!
http://www.rense.com/general4/rogue.htm:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Eighteen rogue planets that
seem to have broken all the rules about being born from a
central, controlling sun may force a rethink about how planets
form, astronomers said on Thursday. They said they found a
planet-rich region - near a star in the constellation Orion -
where stars, brown dwarfs and large, gassy planet-sized
objects all exist without the discipline of a solar system.
Instead of orbiting neatly around a central star, they drift
along in a loose collaboration, the team of Spanish,
American and German researchers report. "They look like
giant gas balls," Maria Rosa Zapatero-Osorio of the
California Institute of Technology in Pasadena (Caltech)
and of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias in Tenerife,
Spain, who worked on the study, said in a telephone interview.
The stars nearby are relatively young - just one million to five
million years old, as opposed to the Sun which is more
than five billion years old and the Earth, which is 4.5
billion years old. The planets are also young, Zapatero-Osorio
said. "They are still contracting, collapsing because of their
own gravity. With time, they will look like Jupiter and Saturn."
With one exception. Jupiter and Saturn obediently orbit the Sun,
and are believed to have formed from the same swirling
disk of gas and dust that formed the entire solar system.
The gas giants in Orion do not seem to have formed that way.
"The formation of young, free-floating, planetary-mass
objects like these is difficult to explain by our current
models of how planets form," Zapatero-Osorio said. "We think
they originated in a similar way to stars and brown dwarfs -
a big cloud broke down into small pieces. Some were large
enough to produce stars, while other fragments were very
small and they yielded the objects we discovered in the cluster."
But, she added, "Perhaps these objects were ejected from their
orbits from their original birthplaces around the stars."
The cluster looked at by the international team lies in the
constellation Orion - one of the best-known constellations to
amateur star-watchers - near a star to the southeast of Orion's "belt".
"Only on very clear nights we can see this star. There are many
other stars in cluster but because they are at 1,200 light-years
they are not so visible to our eye," Zapatero-Osorio said. Light
travels 186,000 miles (300,000 km) per second, and a light-year
is the distance it travels in a year. "It's an area that has a high
concentration of stars, and they are homogenously distributed
within the cluster - one star, one brown dwarf, one planetary mass
body, one star, one brown dwarf, one planetary mass body and so
on," Zapatero-Osorio said. They are not linked to one another in
an orbit, but do move together as a cluster, she said. She said
there are hundreds more planet-like objects in the cluster but
her team concentrated on a single, small area for their report, to
be published in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
Zapatero-Osorio said she is applying to use Hawaii's giant Keck
telescope to look for even smaller objects in the cluster. Usually,
researchers predict that a planet exists by looking for its
gravitational effects on a nearby sun. Most planets outside our
solar system are far too dim to see using visible light. But
Zapatero-Osorios' team actually saw the objects they describe.
They used spectrometers, which measure both visible and
non-visible energy, and found they seem to be made of matter
that resembles the stuff found in known planets. Many stars in
our own galaxy, the Milky Way, may have formed in a similar
manner to the Orion stars, she said. So there could be similar,
hard-to-see planets floating around free near the Solar System.
hmmmMMMMM
NASA-debunker in 1 year: "One of those gassy planets in Orion that were
discovered mid-2001 seems to have exploded, that is causing a blurry red
dot at [coordinates]. This is a rare oportunity to study extra-solar dustclouds.
We will look into it, a team has already been formed, it will announce..."
etc etc etc...
