Unlike Jupiter, but similar to many planets detected around other stars, TrES-2b is located very close to its star and belongs to the class of planets known as hot Jupiters. This system was within the field of view of the Kepler spacecraft. [1] This planet continues to be studied by other projects, and the parameters are continuously improving.
A blanet is a member of a hypothetical class of exoplanets that directly orbit black holes. [1]Blanets are fundamentally similar to other planets; they have enough mass to be rounded by their own gravity, but are not massive enough to start thermonuclear fusion and become stars.

Size comparison of the event horizons of the black holes of TON 618 and Phoenix A.The orbit of Neptune (white oval) is included for comparison. As a quasar, TON 618 is believed to be the active galactic nucleus at the center of a galaxy, the engine of which is a supermassive black hole feeding on intensely hot gas and matter in an accretion disc.
By RYAN GORMAN Scientists may have found Planet X -- the long-rumored object believed to be larger than Earth and further from the sun than Pluto. Planet X and another object dubbed "Planet Y ...

With enough magnification, many stars might look like this system, with one or more stars orbiting an otherwise invisible black hole. Take Sirius, our brightest star (after the sun).
Astronomers have found the most massive stellar black hole known in our own galaxy. The object is relatively close by, at least in black hole terms, sitting just 2,000 light years away.
