@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Solo was on the wrong end of the spectrum. It was an anti-planet.
@ucme I know. Gas giants bring that out in the best of us. :-)
@Symbeline & @RealEyesRealizeRealLies Actually there is a fair amount of stuff that, while following this and that gravitational pull, does not orbit anything in particular. In a couple of billion years, our own Milky Way Galaxy is going to begin a 3 billion year collision and merger with our nearest galactic neighbor, Andromeda. The enormous forces as the super-massive black holes at the center of the two galaxies began to dance ever closer will fling some planets, stars and even smaller black holes out into space beyond the galaxy, where they will wander till they gravitationaly link with something else, it collide with it. I hope this doesn’t happen to Earth, because I checked by collision insurance, and I am not covered for black holes.
@Seek_Kolinahr Even after cataract surgery, 80 light years is beyond my range of vision.
@gondwanalon Or, since it’s a gas giant, put a cover over it with a nozzle attached to one side, then turn on the glo-plug and watch her go.
