A scientist’s desk with diagrams, charts, and a computer screen showing simulations of a planet being ejected from its solar system due to gravitational forces.

The camera follows the rogue planet as it floats silently through space, passing by faint distant stars and nebulae. The galaxy appears vast, with no clear destination for the planet.

A dark, mysterious planet slowly emerges from the shadows, drifting freely without orbiting a star. The planet’s surface is cold, barren, and dimly illuminated by distant starlight.

A wide shot of the Milky Way galaxy, filled with stars and nebulas, slowly panning to emphasize the vastness of space. The stars twinkle softly, and the darkness between them feels endless.

A close-up of a starry sky, the Milky Way appearing clearly in the night. The view fades to a representation of the entire observable universe shrinking into a small part of a larger, unknown realm.

A cosmic horizon appears, representing the limit of what humans can observe. Beyond the horizon is a faint glow hinting at something larger but shrouded in darkness.
