    Researchers find 2 giant planets with density lighter than cotton candy

    Researchers led by the University of Oxford discovered two 'super-puff' planets, TOI-791 b and c, with densities lighter than cotton candy. The planets orbit a dwarf star in the constellation Volan and are the lightest known planets of their size, according to the study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

    Two giant planets are among the lightest ever found

    Two giant planets, TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c, discovered around a star 1,110 light-years away, have densities lower than cotton candy, making them among the least dense planets ever found. Their rarity as 'super-puff' planets in the same system offers insights into planetary formation and evolution.
