Planet LTT9779b is like these giant mirror balls. The planet’s clouds look like metal and reflect light. (Pixabay)
People saw a planet. It shines like a mirror full of light.
It has clouds. They may be made of the same stuff as rocks in the Earth. Who ever heard of rock dust clouds?
Pray: Thank God for the beauty of the planets and stars. They show us how mighty our God is.
