Yeah, either you orbit at a safe distance, or you get ejected and become a rogue planet. I'm rather taken with this idea of billions of rogue planets, wanderin

Yeah, either you orbit at a safe distance, or you get ejected and become a rogue planet. I'm rather taken with this idea of billions of rogue planets, wandering around the Milky Way, carrying life that's billions of years old. Such a rogue might get captured by a star-system's Oort cloud, gradually drift towards the star, and eventully evince more complicated life. In fact I'm not aware of strong evidence that Earth isn't a rogue (it's about the same age as the Sun, but that's circumstantial, right?)
