PSO J318.5−22

PSO J318.5−22 is a rogue planet, an extrasolar object of planetary mass that does not orbit a parent star. It is approximately 80 light-years away, and belongs to the Beta Pictoris moving group. The object was discovered in 2013 in images taken by the Pan-STARRS PS1 wide-field telescope. PSO J318.5-22's age is inferred to be 12 million years, the same age as the Beta Pictoris group. Based on its calculated temperature and age, it is classified under the brown dwarf spectral type L7.
