NASA finds darkest planet.
Planets and space in general get me pretty excited. I also recently posted a planet suspected to be made entirely of diamond. Now, this may be a planet composed of an unknown chemical or element. I wish we had better technology to go explore all of these wonders.
"It's just ridiculous how dark this planet is, how alien it is compared to anything we have in our solar system, it's darker than the blackest lump of coal, than dark acrylic paint you might paint with. It's bizarre how this huge planet became so absorbent of all the light that hits it. - study lead-author David Kipping
