'Super-puff' planets lighter than candy floss discovered by international team
An international team discovered two rare "super-puff" planets, TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c, orbiting a star 1,110 light-years away. These giant planets, roughly Jupiter-sized, have densities lower than candy floss. They are locked in a rare gravitational resonance, making them fascinating for studying planet formation.
