@princess1 In fact, there are actually many W start astronomical object, for example

WD 1145+017 b is the smallest exoplanet we ever known. It orbiting the white dwarf star WD 1145+017. It is even smaller than Pluto. It is believed that it is small because it is very close the the host star (1.3% of distance between Mercury and the sun) and the heat from the host star vaporize it for a billion of year. ( WD 1145+017 b - Wikipedia )

WASP-12b is an hot jupiter orbiting the star WASP-12, discovered by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. It is so dark that it absorb about 94% light. (WASP-12b - Wikipedia)
