We take a look at two extraordinary astronomical news items in this episode. A deep dive into an astronomical survey has discovered an Earth-sized rogue planet and a Neptune-sized rogue planet. Extrapolating from those discoveries, there may be trillions of Earth-sized rogue planets roaming the galaxy. That's more than the number of stars in the Milky Way! We also explore the question of early galaxies and a model that suggests the universe is older than the standard model. As a bonus, we have some wacky Top quark trivia, space news, and more.
