Is there a Black planet?

Objects that reflect no sunlight are black. Consequently, HD 149026b might be the blackest known planet in the Universe, in addition to the hottest. The temperature of this dark and balmy planet was taken with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

Where is the dark planet?

(The darkest planet discovered so far is the pitch-black exoplanet TrES 2B, or Kepler-1b, located about 750 light-years away, which absorbs more than 99 percent of the light that hits it.)

What is the darkest planet known?

TrES-2b (TrES-2 or Kepler-1b) is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star GSC 03549-02811 located 750 light years away from the Solar System. The planet has been identified in 2011 as the darkest known exoplanet, reflecting less than 1% of any light that hits it.

Is there a pitch black planet?

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed an exoplanet – or planet orbiting a distant star – that looks as black as fresh asphalt. The planet is called WASP-12b, and it's one of a class of so-called hot Jupiters, gigantic, gaseous planets orbiting close to their host stars and thereby heated to extreme temperatures.

What is the darkest planet in the Milky Way?

An alien world blacker than coal, the darkest planet known, has been discovered in the galaxy. The world in question is a giant the size of Jupiter known as TrES-2b.

The Rise and Fall of Black Planet (What Happened to BlackPlanet.com?)

Is there a GREY planet?

So when we look at Mercury, regardless of whether it is from the surface or space, we get a clear view of its surface. And what we have seen is a dark gray, rocky planet.

What planet rains diamonds?

Deep within Neptune and Uranus, it rains diamonds—or so astronomers and physicists have suspected for nearly 40 years. The outer planets of our Solar System are hard to study, however. Only a single space mission, Voyager 2, has flown by to reveal some of their secrets, so diamond rain has remained only a hypothesis.

What are Black Hole planets?

A blanet is a member of a hypothetical class of exoplanets that orbit black holes. Blanets are fundamentally similar to planets; they have enough mass to be rounded by their own gravity, but are not massive enough to start thermonuclear fusion, just like planets that orbit stars.

Is pitch black possible?

Almost certainly yes. Unless it reflects absolutely no light at all, it's so close to the star that a lot of light is falling on it, so even if the albedo is, say, 0.01 (and it's hard to see how anything could be that dark), it would still reflect enough light to see.

What planet does it rain glass?

The weather on HD 189733b is deadly. The winds, composed of silicate particles, blow up to 8,700 kilometres per hour (5,400 mph). Observations of this planet have also found evidence that it rains molten glass, horizontally.

Which is the Pink planet?

Named GJ 504b, the planet is made of pink gas. It's similar to Jupiter, a giant gas planet in our own solar system. But GJ 504b is four times more massive. At 460°F, it's the temperature of a hot oven, and it's the planet's intense heat that causes it to glow.

What are cool planet names?

Is J1407b real?

J1407b is the first exoplanet or brown dwarf discovered with a ring system by the transit method. A sequence of occultations (eclipses) of the star occurred over a 56-day period in 2007.

How big is the dark planet?

The planet orbits a star that's a near twin to the Sun — it's the same size, mass, and temperature. It's about 750 light-years away. TrES-2b is a giant ball of gas. It's bigger and heavier than Jupiter, the giant of our own solar system.

Why is it dark in space with the sun?

In space or on the Moon there is no atmosphere to scatter light. The light from the sun travels a straight line without scattering and all the colors stay together.

How many suns are in pitch black?

Trivia. In Riddick, the system is described by Boss Johns as having two suns and one habitable planet. This is despite the fact that in Pitch Black it clearly had three suns.

Did Vin Diesel dislocate his shoulder in pitch black?

Vin Diesel actually performed the shoulder-dislocation stunt (when Riddick breaks free for the second time) for the crew, holding a chain between his hands, although he couldn't do it with the cuffs on. The version we see is mostly him with some special effects thrown in.

Can a wormhole exist?

Einstein's theory of general relativity mathematically predicts the existence of wormholes, but none have been discovered to date. A negative mass wormhole might be spotted by the way its gravity affects light that passes by.

Can life exist in a black hole?

So planets could potentially form around black holes, but that's no guarantee that they offer a life-friendly environment. On Earth, living things are hugely dependent on the light and warmth from the Sun to survive. Without the glow of a star, life around a black hole would likely need an alternative source of energy.

What if a black hole hit Earth?

Bad News for Earth

The same gravitational effects that produced spaghettification would start to take effect here. The edge of the Earth closest to the black hole would feel a much stronger force than the far side. As such, the doom of the entire planet would be at hand. We would be pulled apart.

What planet has the most gold?

Well, at current market prices, 16 Psyche contain enough gold and other precious metals to be worth roughly $700 quintillion, which is enough to give every single human being on this planet a private fortune of nearly a hundred billion bucks.

What planets can you walk on?

Summary. In the Solar System, it would be possible for humans to walk on the terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, and Mars.

Is there gold on Mars?

In addition, lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, niobium, molybdenum, lanthanum, europium, tungsten, and gold have been found in trace amounts.
