Since 2009, the Keplar Spacecraft has traveled through our galaxy searching for planets that could also sustain life. However, recently, it has come across TrES-2b, the darkest known planet yet! It's still dark in the full sunlight!
Being around 750 MILLION light years away from Earth and around the same size as Jupiter, this planet can't get any creepier... or can it?
The planet has red, glowing clouds that emit light so faintly, but they seem like an electric stove. The scientists believe that the glowiness comes from the fact that its atmosphere of 1800 degrees due to its proximity from the sun. However, it's black part has scientist baffled. They say: "Hey, how come its so dark when its so close to light?"
Scientist say that it could be of some mysterious chemical that we don't even know yet! However, its still just a theory..
Wow! What a creepy planet... I find weird that it is dark even when exposed to sunlight. Good writing.
