Christ that's scary. A planet the size of Jupiter just floating through space

YEAH BECAUSE JUPITER ISN'T JUST FLOATING THROUGH SPACE.

That's crazy...wonder where they come from?

My guess is they're planets that used to orbit a star, and either their star died or something made their orbit unstable.

This is the answer. It happens when Galaxies "collide", the gravity from new stars in the vicinity of their home star fukks with planets orbits and they can get flung out into space.

Astronomers have speculated about the possibility of your first guess happening aswell:

So basically we live on a punk ass planet held in check by a yellow star while other planets out there balling doing whatever.

Will we ever be free
