Rogue P

[Darth Thanos]

I have just seen a video explaining what would happen if Earth was kicked out of the solar system. Has any Star Trek touched on this, dealing with a planet about to become a rogue planet, or a population barely surviving on one?

(Beware: the style of the video seems almost childish, but it turns into a horror show later on)

Enterprise had an episode called Rogue Planet. But it was that way when they found it.

Likewise the Founders homeworld in DS9 The Search was a rogue planet, but it had been like that for a while.

It was a plot point in a fanfic I started writing about 40 years ago and (like the rest of my fanfics) never finished.

That should be Kurtzgesagt's motto.

On a tangent to the topic, but I love the Kurzgesagt channel. Their videos are really interesting, informative, and sometimes awe inspiring. Like the ideas for a "Skyhook" to propel spacecraft, how a technologically advanced society might be able to move their entire star system with a "stellar engine," and a real clear, concise, but hopeful explanation of the "Dark Forest Hypothesis."

The one they did about Black Hole Stars is amazing, especially the ending (starting around 9:15) where the combo of comparisons of scale and music is awesome.

The Moon coped okay, when it was blasted into space back in 1999...

Gothos was a little rogue like

Earth in "Red Dwarf", at least the books. It literally farts itself out of the solar system.

My wife tells me I'm gonna end up doing that.

That should be Kurtzgesagt's motto.

Their motto is "Here in the Kurzgesagt labs we only work on the most important scientific problems, like 'What if we nuke stuff?', or 'How about we make this elephant explode?', or, who could forget, 'Look at this thing. It's really big.'"

Similar to a rogue planet, an eyeball planet would be interesting to see.

With all these red dwarfs in the galaxy, it would strange not to see one appear in Star Trek.

Red Dwarf you say...
