Astronomers discover largest super-puff planets
Astronomers have identified two extremely low-density exoplanets, called super-puffs, orbiting a star 1,110 light-years away in the constellation Volans. These planets, lighter than cotton candy and comparable in size to Jupiter, are among the lightest known planets of their size, with densities similar to shaving foam. Detected by NASA's TESS satellite, they are considered rare and offer insights into planet formation by studying such exotic systems.
