Do you like Astronomy or know about it?

I need some info on finding website that talk about "Vagabond Planets" or "Wandering Planets". It is hard to find already in google.

As far as I'm aware, no planets have yet been detected which are not in orbit of stars (in fact, outside our solar system, we've only detected gas giants of 2+ Jupiter masses). So "wandering planets" would be purely theoretical... I'll have a quick look anyway.

Yeah, well. Try giving this answer to the teacher.

You think I should type my project with this sentence in top, and thats it?

That should cover it...

I've found general heresay and a bunch of arguments a la drifters .v. non-drifters in a forum called "Bad Astronomy" (yes, really). Not much else though.

I got this page which might help:

Astronomy. On the list of classes I would have taken senior year of high school if not for my school cutting from nine to eight periods and me torturing myself with 5 AP courses and 3 double-periods. The list of all the great classes I will miss out on:

-introduction to engineering
-philosophy
-astronomy
-AP computer science
-film studies

o well.
