True color of LHS 3844 b Created using the 0.14 Albedo Also Thermal emission spectroscopic observations suggest that LHS 3844 b has a dark surface with Bond albedo of around 0.14, similar to the Moon or Mercury. The surface composition is consistent with ultramafic or mafic materials with low silica content, ruling out felsic rocks like granite, and is likely highly space-weathered.
