Named GJ 504b, the planet is made of pink gas. It's similar to Jupiter, a giant gas planetThere are four known giant planets in the Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Giant_planet
Astronomers have found at least two pink colored planets which is a remarkable feat when you think about it. Figuring out the color of objects so far away in the depths of space is no easy task and requires a lot of powerful equipment and bright minds.
Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest planet in the Solar System, is making a rare appearance this month, appearing in the early evening sky as a bright pink spot.
“Pluto is shown in a rainbow of colors that distinguish the different regions on the planet. The left side of the planet is mostly blue-green with purple swirls, while the right side ranges from a vibrant yellow-green at the top to a reddish orange toward the bottom,” Nasa posted.
A 160 million-year-old alien planet has been discovered by NASA, along with stunning images. Using the infrared Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, astronomers snapped a photo of the breathtaking exoplanet, orbiting a star that was named GJ 504 in 2013.
There is a pink exoplanet circling a star very much like our own, 57 light-years away from Earth. But its origins are a mystery. In a new study announcing the magenta gas giant, researchers were able to directly image this exoplanet using the Subaru telescope on Hawaii.
What color is Pluto? The answer, revealed in the first maps made from New Horizons data, turns out to be shades of reddish brown.
It's a magenta-colored planet! Named GJ 504b, the planet is made of pink gas. It's similar to Jupiter, a giant gas planet in our own solar system. But GJ 504b is four times more massive.
A spokesman said: “The nightmare world of HD 189733 b is the killer you never see coming,” said US space agency Nasa. “To the human eye, this far-off planet looks bright blue. But any space traveller confusing it with the friendly skies of Earth would be badly mistaken. “The weather on this world is deadly.
The diamond rain phenomenon is believed by some scientists to take place on Uranus and Neptune in our solar system. It is thought it exists some 8,000 km below the surface of our ice giant neighbours, created from commonly found mixtures of hydrogen and carbon, squeezed together at incredible pressure.
Consequently, HD 149026b might be the blackest known planet in the Universe, in addition to the hottest. The temperature of this dark and balmy planet was taken with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. While the planet reflects no visible light, its heat causes it to radiate a little visible and a lot of infrared light.
In the outer Solar System, well beyond the orbit of Neptune and Pluto, a ninth planet may be waiting to be discovered. This 'ghost planet', nicknamed Planet 9 or Planet X, has never been observed directly, but peculiar goings-on in the space beyond Neptune hint tantalisingly at its existence.
NASA has taken a closer look at 55 Cancri e, an exoplanet that earned the nickname "diamond planet" due to research that suggests it has a carbon-rich composition.
Astronomers dubbed the invisible world Planet Nine or Planet X. Now, a new analysis of 14 of those remote bodies shows no evidence for such clustering, knocking down the primary reason to believe in Planet Nine.
Blue skies on a golden planet, and two of our solar system's greatest extremes – Saturn is a planet of contrasts and surprises.
No other planet in our solar system has rings as splendid as Saturn's. They are so expansive and bright that they were discovered as soon as humans began pointing telescopes at the night sky. Galileo Galilei was the first person known to view the heavens through a telescope.
A moonbow (sometimes known as a lunar rainbow) is an optical phenomenon caused when the light from the moon is refracted through water droplets in the air. The amount of light available even from the brightest full moon is far less than that produced by the sun so moonbows are incredibly faint and very rarely seen.
The largest, R136a1, is approximately 260 times the Sun's mass; the light from these hot, new, bright stars is predominantly blue, however. At first glance, it's surprising, since there are no pink stars, and the majority of young starlight is preferentially blue.
Pink skies are rare occurrences in nature, but they can be seen on the island of Madeira. The color is caused by a low-lying marine stratus cloud bank that reflects light from the sun to create an appearance of pink or red. It's no wonder this natural phenomenon has inspired so many artists and writers over time!
The spinning vortex of Saturn's north polar storm resembles a deep red rose of giant proportions surrounded by green foliage in this false-color image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
The planets of the solar system are varied in their appearance. Mercury is slate gray while Venus is pearly white, Earth a vibrant blue, and Mars a dusky red. Even the gas giants are different, Neptune and Uranus an opaque blue, while Jupiter and Saturn are mostly beige with brilliant red-brown belts.

A "dead" star is one that has no more nuclear fusion going in it. When a star dies, it leaves some remnant behind. Depending on the mass of the star, the remnant can be a white dwarf, neutron star or a black hole. White dwarfs are what was once the core of a star.
