Creation Moment 12/27/2021 - Billions of Rogue Planets in the Milky Way?

 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God... Hebrews 11:3

"Astronomers may have found at least 70—and possibly as many as 170—new free-floating exoplanets, which are planets outside our solar system that are not tethered to any stars. 
They identified as many as 3,455 total exoplanet candidates—70 to 170 of which are Jupiter-size objects and likely true rogue exoplanets. They are all floating in space about 420 light years away, in a region of the Milky Way known as the Upper Scorpius OB stellar association.
The new findings suggest there are many more of these hidden, rogue planets floating in the dark to discover, Hervé Bouy, an astronomer said in a statement. “There could be several billions of these free-floating giant planets roaming freely in the Milky Way without a host star.”
