Pink planet discovered.


Pink planet discovered.
This is an artists rendering of newly discovered exoplanet GJ 504b, which weighs in with about four times Jupiter’s mass, making it the lowest-mass planet ever directly imaged around a star like the sun.

The alien planet GJ 504b is a colder and bluer world than astronomers had anticipated and it likely has a dark magenta hue, infrared data from the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii revealed.

"If we could travel to this giant planet, we would see a world still glowing from the heat of its formation with a color reminiscent of a dark cherry blossom, a dull magenta," study researcher Michael McElwain, of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said in a statement from the space agency.
