Cosmic Featherweights Found Beyond Light-Years

Scientists just discovered two mind-blowing “super-puff” planets—one thousand one hundred ten light-years away—so light they’re basically cosmic cotton candy, floating like shaving cream in space. Found orbiting a star in the Volans constellation, these Jupiter-sized giants are the least dense ever seen, mostly hydrogen and helium. Led by George Dransfield from Oxford, the team used NASA’s Tess satellite and ground telescopes to uncover them, with the Webb Space Telescope needed to dig deeper. Super-puffs are rare—only about forty known among nearly six thousand confirmed exoplanets—and spotting two together is a major cosmic find, proving there’s still so much to discover in the universe.
