Hubble discovers the first blue planet outside the Solar System, but it isnt covered in water

2013-07-12 18:45:05| Extremetech

Thanks to NASA's Hubble telescope, planet HD 189733 b has become the first planet outside the Solar System to have its color directly measured -- and, like Earth, it's blue! Unlike our home planet, though, HD 189733 b isn't blue because of liquid water -- the blue color likely comes from clouds in the atmosphere made of molten glass.
