One planet orbits 1 trillion kilometres away from its star

A distant planet thought to be floating free through space is not so lonely after all, according to a new study that indicates it actually orbits a star a trillion kilometres away from it. The planet, designated 2MASS J2126-8140, takes nearly a million Earth years to orbit its sun, making it easily the largest solar system yet found.
