And it's a frickin' burning gas giant.

I have to say, if ever we had an evil intergalactic overlord in our neck of the cosmos, this is the place he'd probably set up his Evil Fortress of Inescapable Discomfort. It's a tidally locked gas giant the size of Jupiter that only reflects about 1% of the sun's light, a world of deep black clouds and - I kid thee not - a faint red glow emitted from the surface due to its toasty temperature of 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (980 Celsius).

Of course, it could be just Shego's summer home... :p

My favorite comment from teh comments:

Funny, they can take a picture of a planet a kazillion light years from Earth, but when somebody robs a 7-11, the pictures from the security camera is worthless.

I just started reading the comments. One of them suggested renaming the planet. Now it's called TrEs-2b by NASA officials.

He suggested Trestooby :p

It'll be interesting to see how the light-coloured planets keep this dark-coloured planet down now.

Watch it, you sound like you've been possessed by Charlie. Don't make me break out the exorcism kit...

The black planet has much better orbital rhythm than the light planets.

They should call it Dolemite, because it's so black.
