55 Cancri e The celestial body called 55 Cancri e is a planet orbiting a star in the constellation Cancer, visible to the naked eye from Earth. It is composed almost entirely of carbon, and much of this carbon is present in the form of diamonds. HD 189733 B From space, HD 189733 b may appear to be a beautiful and peaceful world, but with exoplanets, appearances can be deceiving. This is clearly the case with this gas giant, which orbits its star in just 2.2 days. In fact, its beautiful blue hue comes from its deadly weather, specifically the rain of molten glass that coats the planet's surface. TOI-1231 b Located about 90 light-years from Earth, TOI-1231 b is strangely reminiscent of our own Neptune, a gas world with a potentially rich atmosphere. The planet is more than 3 ½ times the size of Earth and has a slightly warmer surface temperature of about 57 degrees Celsius. TOI-1231 b orbits a red dwarf star that is smaller but longer-lived than our Sun and orbits it in 24.2 days. Gliese 436 b Gliese 436b orbits very close to its central star and loses part of its atmosphere due to the intense radiation from the star. Because of this, it remains around the planet for a while as a huge cloud and is accompanied by a huge gas tail, which makes it look like a comet. TrES-2 b Tres-2b is an exoplanet discovered around the star HD 209458 and is thought to be a hot Jupiter-type planet that orbits very close to its star. But what makes this planet really special is that it appears so dark from the outside that, with a little exaggeration, we could believe that we are seeing a Black Hole. The planet was identified in 2011 as the darkest exoplanet, reflecting less than 1% of the light hitting its surface. 5 Planets Found That Existence Is Incomprehensible Music: The Sky is on Fire - Ambient Music 0:00 55 Cancri e 1:15 HD 189733 b 3:30 TOI-1231 b 4:37 Gliese 436 b 6:35 TrES-2 b #universe #universe
