Yes, I know it's the title of an old Public Enemy album, but I thought of it while reading the latest evidence of extragalactic planets that show no signs of water. The planets were described as ?blacker than any planet in the solar system.?

    It's very interesting what scientists are finding out there.



    I think you mean "extrasolar" rather than "extragalactic:" I'm fairly certain that our ability to detect planets doesn't extend quite as far as finding them in other galaxies.

    Yes, you are correct... Extrasolar. My bad.
