The monstrously large world is 12 times bigger than gas giant Jupiter and the first object of its kind to be spotted using a radio telescope, according to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.

They’re dubbing it a “rogue” because it’s mysteriously “drifting” through space without any kind of orbit around a parent star. More baffling still is its mass and powerful magnetic field that’s over 200 times stronger than Jupiter’s. Picking apart its secrets could lead to the discovery of more alien worlds, claim the boffs.
