This nearly invisible dot among the stars is an unusual rogue planet. Although this object located twenty light-years away from the Sun doesn’t have its own star, the sky around it isn’t at all as dark as it might seem. Bright flashes light it up every now and then. The thing is, this rogue planet is twelve times more massive than Jupiter, and its magnetic field is two hundred times more powerful!
And this is what creates regular light shows featuring northern lights! But there are even more staggering worlds in our vast and endless space.
In this video, you’ll find out: how can a planet be ice cold and extremely hot at the same time? Is there a place where things fall not down but upward?
And what are the strangest known exoplanets?
