Scientists are constantly observing and conducting various calculations and experiments to prove the existence of things even when they can't be directly seen. This has led to the discovery of an extraordinary list of planets with unique characteristics.

Uncover the Bizarre Records of the Universe's Most Unforgiving Planets

14 Highest and Lowest Albedo

In the cosmos, "albedo" indicates the amount of light a body reflects. The planet LTT 9779 b boasts the highest known albedo at 0.8 percent, while TrES-2b is the darkest with a mere 0.04 percent. For comparison, the Earth has an albedo of 0.3 percent.Don't miss this! In our award show, "Albedo" is a combination of "Al" and "libido," representing the horniest and least horny Als. The lowest albedo is a close call between Weird Al and Al Gore. And for the highest albedo, we might consider Al Roker with his mischievous smirk.

13 Smallest Angular Distance Separation From Its Parent Star

This record goes to the "Please Don't Destroy" boys on SNL. John Higgins and Martin Herlihy are the sons of prominent SNL alumni and joke about it regularly. Cosmically, the planet SWIFT J1756.9−2508 b holds this title, but its reason for earning it remains a mystery.

12 Lowest Metallicity

Metallicity refers to the abundance of heavier star stuff than helium. The star K2-344 has the record-setting D&D-ass characteristic of -0.95±0.02 dex. Among living celebrities, Sharon Osbourne is the least metal. By metalhead law, she is the Princess of Darkness, but her love for reality TV and daytime talk shows shows a different side.

11 Most Dense

PSR J1719−1438 b is essentially a large super-diamond, a floating mass of crystallized carbon with a density of ≥23 g cm−3. On Earth, to find the densest celebrity, we would have to put every right-wing influencer in the Colosseum and let them debate until only one grifter remains.

10 Star With the Faintest Apparent Magnitude

MOA-bin-29L is a star that scientists can barely detect. Similarly, Timothee Chalamet has star power, but his slender physique sometimes makes his gravitas less apparent.

9 Longest Orbital Period

In the constellation Pisces, the three-star solar system Gliese 900 has an exoplanet, Gliese 900 b, which takes 1.27 million Earth-years to complete one orbit. Just like Lorne Michaels, who has been a kingmaker for five decades, Gliese 900 b has been at the center of a celestial orgy for a long time.

8 Hottest (Self-Luminous)

GQ Lupi b is a hot ball of unknown elements. It may have the mass of a few Jupiters and be a big planet of fire or up to 36 Jupiters and approach star status. It's a 4,310-degree radiant beauty, similar to Martha Stewart's career. She started modeling as a teen and later picked it up again to go to college. Now, in her late 70s and early 80s, she has astounded everyone with her "thirst traps."

7 Hottest Non-Degenerate Star With a Planet

In astronomy, a non-degenerate body can be a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. NSVS 14256825 is actually two stars orbiting each other every two and a half hours. One of them can be as hot as 71,540 degrees. On Earth, the hottest non-degenerate star is none other than Keanu Reeves, and his "planet" is the little blue marble called Earth.

6 Youngest

This is a bit disputed. DH Tauri b is 0.7 billion years old and is generally considered the youngest exoplanet. There is a body, Proplyd 133-353, that is only 0.5 billion years old but is known as a "free-floating planet" or "sub-brown dwarf" and doesn't technically count. This silly dispute reminds us of the beef between Baby Gronk and The Rizzler.

5 Oldest

The universe is about 13.8 billion years old, and the oldest known planet, TOI-157 b, formed after about one billion years. In celebrity terms, it's a tough call as pop culture and politics are full of old-timers. Mike Tyson is currently on our minds, so we'll give it to him.

4 Coldest

Swirling around a distant star near the center of the Milky Way is OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, which reaches as low as -370 degrees, just 90 degrees away from absolute zero. Carson Daly recently found that cold plunging helps with his lifelong anxiety. He has been dunking in 40-degree water twice a day for about a year, making him the coldest celebrity.

3 Largest Orbit Around a Single Star

The planet COCONUTS-2b has an orbit of 7,506 Astronomical Units around its star in the constellation Chamaeleon. In our awards show, this title goes to the uncoupled celebrity with the most suitors. When Taylor Swift has a boyfriend, Pete Davidson is the clear winner.

2 Most Eccentric Orbit

The planet SGR 1935+2154 b takes 238 to 398 days to orbit its star. On Earth, Taylor Swift takes this title with her dating history that includes professional athletes, actors, singer-songwriters, and even overtly racist ones.

1 Largest Orbit Around Three Stars

This is a double-win. Gliese 900 b is the winner of the Longest Orbital Period and also holds the title of Largest Orbit Around Three Stars at 12,000 Astronomical Units. We think the Costco Guys and The Rizzler clearly win this category.
