Talk:TrES-2b

message: Considering its placement, and the fact the planet is the darkest known planet, shouldnt we use a comparison that has a dark colored planet instead of a bright solid white one? -Tracer9999 (talk) 14:21, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking the same, especially with its darkness making the news. Hard to put a black planet on a black backdrop, though. Maybe change the background to white? Or does the background need to remain black to represent space? Jeffhoy (talk) 13:27, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: How about grey? I don't think black is necessary, as a planet being in space is implied by it...umm...existing. 206.28.38.227 (talk) 16:39, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The image comparing it to Jupiter could not be worse. It depicts TrES-2b as off-white, with some shading as if it really looks that way. I am removing it as WP:Original Research. Speciate (talk) 03:37, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering the original purpose of the picture was to make a size comparison, not an appearance comparison, I think it was a bit hasty to simply delete the image instead of replacing it with a better one. Deleting the image outright has in effect removed useful information from the article, and should (IMO) be reverted until such time that someone can make a better image. 206.28.38.227 (talk) 05:49, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: size comparison image

message: The importance of this object has recently had a boost as it is an identified extrasolar planet in the field of view of the Kepler planet-hunter spacecraft's photometer. TrES-2b's parent star is clearly visible and identified on the mission's first-light images. According to the image captions this object will be used to confirm proper operation and for targeted study. We should know a lot more about this object very soon.

thread_title:  Kepler Mission 

message: We need to include the fact that this planet has been identified as the darkest known planet, reflecting less than 1% of the sunlight that hits it.

thread_title:  Emo Planet 

message: It's true that TrES-2b reflects less than 1% of the sunlight that hits it, but this is also true of all other light that hits it as well. Sunlight is light specifically emitted by the Sun, which is a specific star and not a generalized term for a planet's parent star. While I'll admit it's a nitpicky thing, the term "sunlight" should be changed to simply "light", as it matters not what star (or source in general) that light originates. As a suggested replacement: "The planet has been identified in 2011 as the darkest known exoplanet, reflecting less than 1% of the light that hits it." Not perfect, but better IMO. 206.28.38.227 (talk) 05:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
