PSO J318.5-22 - Space Tourism Poster

Take a virtual trip to alien worlds, and maybe even plaster your living room with new, futuristic JPL space tourism posters. It is overlaid with a quote about space travel but you can remove the quote or replace with you own personalised words of inspiration. Discovered in October 2013 using direct imaging, PSO J318.5-22 belongs to a special class of planets called rogue, or free-floating, planets. Wandering alone in the galaxy, they do not orbit a parent star. Not much is known about how these planets come to exist, but scientists theorise that they may be either failed stars or planets ejected from very young systems after an encounter with another planet. These rogue planets glow faintly from the heat of their formation. Once they cool down, they will be dancing in the dark.
