Top 10 strangest planets in the universe.



It all started with a Big Bang 
It was a starting point of our universe, this is how our universe took place but "big bang" is just a theory. It's not 100% true. We all know that the universe is made out of "Black matter" and is constantly increasing. How big is the universe? Well the answer to this question is unpredictable to a certain limit. 

Everything that exist makes up the universe, from the smallest particles to the bi
ggest structures. It includes everything that is known and more that is unknown. Over time, humans have had different ideas of what the universe is and how it works, how it started and what its future is. Today, scientists know more than ever before, but there is much still to be learnt. 

So here are the top 10 strangest planets in the universe. 

1. Tres 2b 

Tres 2b or Kepler 1b is the "most" darkest planet in the universe. 
It is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star GSC 0354902811 located 750 light years away from the solar system. The planet has been identified in 2011 as the darkest known exoplanet, reflecting less than 1% of any light that hits it. The planet's mass and radius indicate that it is a gas giant with a bulk composition similar to that of Jupiter. Unlike Jupiter, but similar to many planets detected around other stars, tres-2b is located very close to its star, and belongs to the class of planets known hot jupiters. This system was a within the field of view of the Kepler spacecraft. 

This planet continues to be studied by other projects and the parameters are being improved continuously. A 2007 study improved stellar and planetary parameters. A 2008 study concluded that the TrES-2 system is a binary star system This has a significant effect on the values for the stellar and the planetary parameters.

The above picture is the size comparison of tres-2b with jupiter.
