We won't be around to see it.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30954977/so-they-found-a-planet-that-is-not-orbiting-a-star?post_id=552988723#552988723It could accrete more hydrogen on its travels through space like a snowball effect and eventually reach critical mass to spark into a star.

It's six times the mass of Jupiter so it should be close to becoming a star in its own right and is already emitting radiation. It's not rocky so likely to be a ball of mainly hydrogen.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30954977/so-they-found-a-planet-that-is-not-orbiting-a-star?post_id=552988619#552988619Have just read the article.
