Dec 7, 2024 · TrES-2 b is a gas giant exoplanet that orbits a G-type star. Its mass is 1.49 Jupiters, it takes 2.5 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.03568 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2006.

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

Sep 26, 2011 · TrES-2b, which was discovered in 2006, is one of roughly 150 hot Jupiter planets known to exist outside our solar system. Astronomers are working to better understand the sometimes mysterious properties of these “dark” planets, from their mass to their orbital patterns to their atmospheric makeup.

Aug 11, 2011 · The world in question is a giant the size of Jupiter known as TrES-2b. NASA's Kepler spacecraft detected it lurking around the yellow sun-like star GSC 03549-02811 some 750 light years away in...

Aug 11, 2011 · TrES-2b, shown here in an artist's conception, is darker than the blackest coal. This Jupiter-sized world reflects less than one percent of the light that falls on it, making it blacker than any planet or moon in our solar system.

Mar 15, 2013 · The planet, TrES-2b, orbits its parent star 30 times closer to it than Earth is to our Sun, heating its atmosphere to a blistering temperature close to 1,800 Fahrenheit (980 degrees Celsius).

Nov 12, 2024 · Have you ever wondered what the darkest planet in our known universe looks like? Join us on a fascinating journey to explore TrES-2b, a mysterious world that challenges our understanding of planetary physics and makes coal look bright in comparison.

Aug 12, 2011 · Astronomers using data from NASA's Kepler spacecraft have discovered a "Jupiter-sized gas giant" believed to be the darkest planet in the galaxy.

TrES-2b is an exoplanet that is 750 light-years away. This planet is the darkest known exoplanet, reflecting less than 1% of all light that comes across it. It is now also believed to be orbiting a binary star system(a system where two stars orbit each other).

Aug 12, 2011 · Astronomers have discovered the darkest known exoplanet — a distant, Jupiter-sized gas giant known as TrES-2b. Their measurements show that TrES-2b reflects less than 1 percent of the sunlight...
