Titan falls as rain and a hot 2000 degree surface: LTT9779b is a particular example from Exoplanet. “A planet that shouldn’t exist,” says one researcher.
A planet surrounded by reflective metallic clouds is the brightest exoplanet known to date. The superhot celestial body reflects 80 percent of the light falling from its star, the European space agency Esa said on Monday.
For comparison: Venus reflects about 75 percent of sunlight through its thick cloud layer, while Earth only reflects 30 percent. Examined with the European space telescope “Cheops”, exoplanet LTT9779b is therefore roughly as large as Neptune and “the largest “mirror” in the universe we know today.
A year on LTT9779b, that is, one orbit of the star takes only 19 hours. Its reflective clouds are mostly composed of sand mixed with metals such as titanium and silicate forming glass. (SDA)
