A giant rogue world once described as the "planet that shouldn't be there" looks like it actually formed out in deep space, far from its host star and the cosmic material that usually births planets, according to new research.
The anomaly, called HD 106906b, is a young planet located approximately 300 light-years from Earth in the Crux constellation.
