Scientist found a Saturn-sized planet drifting alone through the galaxy

Scientists have weighed a rogue planet, the size of Saturn, floating alone in space. This planet has no sun and no orbit. Its gravity bent starlight as it passed a distant star. Telescopes on Earth and the Gaia spacecraft observed this rare event. This finding helps understand how planets form and become isolated.
