Astronomers solve mystery of how a mirror-like planet formed so close to its star

  • Scientists have discovered a scorching exoplanet called LTT9779b, which is the brightest planet found outside our solar system. It has temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Celsius and unique cloud formations made of titanium and silicate that reflect 80% of incoming light.
  • LTT9779b is a planet that defies expectations as it shouldn't exist due to its proximity to its star. The high reflectivity of its clouds and the heaviness of its metallic atmosphere allow it to survive close to its star without its outer layer being burned away.
