Learning about exoplanets is helpful not only for the sake of space exploration but also for understanding our own place in the Universe. In their search for an Earth-like planet, scientists have found thousands of other unusual worlds. Some of them are short of our expectations but quite a few of them are truly incredible. Our Universe has a great imagination. The darkest planet ever discovered which is blacker than soot or coal, a planet made of diamond, a planet where it rains stones instead of water! And what about circumbinary planets which can orbit two stars? The list goes on and on. Is our Earth truly unique? Are there similar worlds out there?
