  The most "dark planet" in the visible universe found by scientists. Tres-2b or Kepler-1b The planet is known by multiple names in science, such as "Tres-2b or Kepler-1b." In the name. It absorbs 99% of the light falling on the planet itself, that is, it reflects 1% or less of the light falling on it. That’s why it looks almost dark. Scientists think that there are no clouds on this planet to scatter light. In 2011, the planet was identified as the darkest planet. The Kepler Space Telescope, an exoplanet detector, discovered it in 2009. The planet is located in the constellation Draco, 650 light-years from Earth. It is orbiting a star named GSC 03549-02811.

  • Astronomers Image Magnetic Fields at the Edge of M87’s Black Hole First Image of Black Hole gets even better! IMAGE: The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, who produced the first ever image of a black hole released in 2019, has today a new view of the massive object at the centre of the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy: how it looks in polarized light. This is the first time astronomers have been able to measure polarization, a signature of magnetic fields, this close to the edge of a black hole. This image shows the polarized view of the black hole in M87. The lines mark the orientation of polarization, which is related to the magnetic field around the shadow of the black hole.
