NASA has revealed the discovery of two giant 'super-puff' planets, marking a significant milestone in exoplanet research. These planets are noted for their remarkably low densities.
The densities of these new planets are comparable to that of cotton candy, making them the lightest Jupiter-sized planets identified to date.
This discovery comes from NASA's TESS mission, which continues to expand our understanding of the diversity of planetary systems beyond our own.
