Dark Planet
«TrES-2b» sounds like something taken straight out of a science fiction film. This is the darkest planet ever open person, it almost does not reflect light the nearest star. Only some areas of the planet glow dark red, because there are incredibly hot. In other words, the planet is quite unsuitable for life.
Are you afraid of the dark? Then you probably should not attend the TrES-2b. Besides the fact that it is a giant ball of incredibly hot gas, the planet is at a distance of 750 light years from Earth, is completely devoid of air, breathable, plus it blacker any substance known to man. So your nightlight will not save you.
Discovered in 2011, the year the Kepler space observatory, TrES-2b is outside the solar system, and the planet from its star is removed at 4, 8 million km. It is about the size of Jupiter, and the temperature at its surface reaches 980 degrees Celsius.
That is TrES-2b is ideal to escape from the cold of deep space ... once and for all.
Despite the heat, TrES-2b - the darkest planet ever discovered. Only some parts of it glow and look like glowing coals, but most of the surface of a planet blacker than the blackest acrylic paint.
This chilling darkness arose due to the low albedo of the planet (the amount of light reflected from the surface). At that time, as the albedo of the Earth reaches 30%, the albedo of the Sun is close to 100%, TrES-2b reflects only one percent of the light nearest star. And scientists still do not know exactly why. We only know that it has something to do with the absence of clouds in the TrES-2b. For example, there are clouds on Jupiter from ammonia, which reflect sunlight, but on TrES-2b is too hot for the appearance of the clouds. As the planet's atmosphere, the researchers believe that it may consist of chemicals that absorb light. Such as gaseous sodium, potassium or titanium oxide. And maybe there is something so rare, what researchers have not yet had time to think.
