This planet is 150 percent the size of Jupiter, but is somehow 7 times less dense, and has 1 percent the density of Earth.

Low-density “cotton candy planets” continue to be a cosmic puzzle for astronomers. Despite being 50 percent bigger than the ...

Located 1,200 light-years from Earth, WASP-193b is the second-lightest exoplanet ever discovered despite being larger than Jupiter.

A n international team of astronomers has announced the discovery of a truly odd-ball planet. The planet has an extremely low ...

The new, 'fluffy' planet has been named 'WASP-193b' and was found to be located about 1,200 light years away from Earth, ...
