Astronomers have figured out the true color of an exoplanet that is orbiting another star 63 light years away.
This is the first time that scientists have been able to measure the actual color of another planet. To do this, they measured the amount of light that was reflected off the surface of the planet. Although it has a similar blue color to earth, it is actually a gas giant planet, and the atmosphere reportedly rains glass silicate.
Atmospheric temperatures on the exoplanet reach up to 18 hundred degrees Fahrenheit and winds can be as fast as 4350 miles per hour.
