A few days ago, astronomers from ESO using the CFHT and VLT, discovered a rogue body in the AB Doradus moving stellar group (ABDMG) located 100 l.y. away.
Named CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9 the properties of this body are not known yet with accuracy; it can be a jovian-size exoplanet or more probably a very young and small dwarf brown star 50-120 million year old, and seems to move with the group at about 28 km/s.
Here is a rendering of this orphan body and ABDMG in front of the Terzan 5 globular cluster.
More renderings of exoplanets, peculiar celestial bodies and space missions are available at
