As many as half of all stars in the universe lie in the vast gulfs of space between galaxies, an unexpected discovery made in a new study using NASA rockets. These stars could help solve mysteries regarding missing light and particles that theory had suggested should exist, scientists say.

This discovery seems to change the proportion of normal and dark matter in the Universe, and perhaps double the total number of planets. I wonder if the number of rogue planets is also similar; in other words, are there as many planets between stars are there are around stars?
