Astronomers have spotted another “rogue planet” wandering throughout our Milky Way galaxy. Interestingly enough, this exoplanet doesn’t have any parent star attached to it. It was also found out that it has a similar mass between that of Earth and Mars, though it’s 10% heavier. Once confirmed, it would be a huge scientific milestone in observing rogue planets, which are believed to be in abundance especially outside our galaxy.
Mankind has been eyeing to go to Mars for quite some time now. That’s because living on planets other than our Earth is the major step in becoming an interplanetary species. There have been numerous attempts to scour the Red Planet in order to study its composition, surface, and atmosphere.
