Our galaxy is likely filled with billions of dark rouge planets wandering through space. Torn from their orbits by haphazard gravitational interactions and flung far from the nurturing warmth of any sun, the surfaces of these orphaned worlds would quickly become frozen, desolate wastes. Despite their extreme and solitary existence, tenacious life might still survive on these cold, dark bodies, hidden underground, huddled around sanctuaries of geothermal activity near the planet’s core.
Theoretically, it’s possible for rouge planets to leave the Milky Way entirely. Stars drawn close to black holes have been observed whipping around event horizons at over 300 kilometers per second, or 0.1% of the speed of light. Brought along for the ride, planets orbiting those stars would be accelerated fast enough to achieve galactic escape velocity.
This render depicts one such lone body, continuing to hurtle through space a billion years after being ejected from the Milky Way. Lashed by intense radiation from the black hole, seas boiled away, the planet’s surface has been scoured down an iron-rich mantle.
