Some of space's weirdest exoplanets #1

TrES-2b or Kepler-1b is orbiting the star GSC 03549-02811 and is about 750 light-years away. The thing that makes this planet so weird is that it reflects less than 1% of the light given to it, making it the darkest ever planet discovered. It is part of a binary star system.
