Shiniest exoplanet ever found has reflective metal clouds

A scorching hot world where metal clouds rain drops of titanium is the most reflective planet ever observed outside of our Solar System, astronomers said on Monday. This strange world, which is more than 260 light years from Earth, reflects 80 percent of the light from its host star, according to new observations from Europe's exoplanet-probing Cheops space telescope.  That makes it the first exoplanet comparably shiny as Venus, which is the bri…

By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — An ultrahot exoplanet that zips around its host star every 19 hours is the shiniest exoplanet ever discovered. The scorching world, dubbed planet LTT9779b, has reflective metallic clouds made of silicates and metals like titanium. The exoplanet is the largest “mirror” in the universe that astronomers have spotted to date. The planet is located 262 light-years from Earth. Initially spotted by NASA’s planet-huntin…

'Like a mirror': Astronomers identify most reflective exoplanet 'puzzle'

A planet surrounded by reflective metal clouds is the most luminous exoplanet known to date. The ultra-hot celestial body reflects a whopping 80 percent of the light falling on it from its star, the European space agency ESA announced on Monday. By way of comparison, Venus, with its thick layer of clouds, reflects about 75 percent of sunlight, the Earth only about 30 percent. The exoplanet LTT9779b, examined with the European space telescope CHE…

Ein von spiegelnden Metallwolken umgebener Planet ist der bis dato leuchtendste bekannte Exoplanet. Der ultraheiße Himmelskörper spiegelt satte 80 Prozent des von seinem Stern auf ihn fallenden Lichts, teilte die europäische Raumfahrtagentur ESA am Montag mit. Zum Vergleich: Die Venus mit ihrer dicken Wolkenschicht reflektiere etwa 75 Prozent des Sonnenlichts, die Erde nur etwa 30 Prozent. Der mit dem europäischen Weltraumteleskop CHEOPS untersu…
