All known pink planets in the universe
Our Milky-way galaxy has 200 to 400 billion stars, which also states that it has trillions of exoplanets or planets. Astronomer found thousands of Planets, but there are only three planets that are pink in color.
GJ 504 b or Gliese 504 b -
It is a planet which orbits a star - 59 Virginis(or GJ 504). It is about 57 light-years away from Earth. 59 Virginis has known from the 16th-century, but the pink gas-giant was discovered in Feb 2013 from the Subaru Telescope of Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii by Kuzuhara et al.

This planet is four times bigger than the Jupiter. It is nine times far from his star compare to Jupiter from the sun. GJ 504 b has an average temperature of 237°C.
The pink planet has a star of one-ninth of his energy-producing life, While Jupiter's sun has one-half of his energy-producing life.
The models of the formation of planets, states that the gravitational force created by mass collisions of debris in space attracts gas-rich particles, eventually leading to the creation of a Large planetary. This definition is from the Core accretion theory.
But the theory is only applied to planets orbiting up to 30 astronomical units (AU) from their star (1 AU is equivalent to Earth's distance from the sun). GJ 504 b orbits its star at a distance of 43.5 AU. So, it is clear that the Core accretion theory is not correct or need to redefine.
It was the lowest mass exoplanet ever discovered through direct imaging method.
It is in Virgo constellation.

It is a dwarf planet which orbits our own star - Sun. A dwarf planet is a round-shaped celestial body that orbits the Sun. It has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a moon.
It is about 15.4 billion km from the Sun. This dwarf planet was discovered in Nov 2012 from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile by Scott Sheppard and Chad Trujillo.
It has a diameter of about 600 km (370 miles). It takes it over 1.5 million days or 4136.24 years to complete one orbit around Sun.
It is a trans-Neptunian object, which means it has a greater average distance than Neptune. It is located beyond the Kuiper Belt.
It is also nicknamed as Biden by the discovery team, after Joe Biden, at the time of discovery, was vice president of the United States.
It is same as dwarf planet - Pluto.
Kepler-51d -
It is a super-puff or cotton candy planet which orbits a star Kepler-51. Super-puff or cotton candy planets are cold and have the lowest known density planets. It is first highlighted in a research paper by scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder titled - The Featureless Transmission Spectra, and then spotted by NASA's Kepler space telescope.
It orbits around the Kepler-51 every 130.2 days with about distance of 152 million km. It is detected through the transit method.
It is a Jupiter-sized planet. This pink planet is so younger than any planet in our solar system. Kepler-51 and Sun have an age difference of 3.1billion years.
It is in the Carina constellation.
