    Is there any planet not revolving any star (like Earth), and travelling lonely in space?

    The table below lists rogue planets, confirmed or suspected, that have been discovered. It is yet unknown whether these planets were ejected from orbiting a star or else formed on their own as sub-brown dwarfs.

    earth magnetic field that protects from cosmic radiation ...
    atmosphere...
    global heating requirement to sustain life...

    there are a few obstacles

    i recall very vaguely reading some postulation by physicists about the potential being quite a possibility.
    however...
    the probability is even more ridiculously smaller than finding intelligent life in our own solar system.
