Hello,
I learned from Yahoo about the existence of many more "rogue planets" than stars.
These planets are not bound to a solar system, they are "free floating".
I found more information on wikipedia and jpl.
I wonder now if these "rogue planets" could be an alternative to the "dark matter" to reconcile the various data on galaxies.
Would you have some ideas or some data about this?
Thanks,
Michel
