Fluffy Giants Found Beyond Earth
from Global News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Astronomers just discovered two ultra-lightweight, Jupiter-sized planets 1,110 light-years away—so airy they’re nicknamed “super-puffs.” Found orbiting a star in the Volans constellation, these cosmic cotton candies are 35 times less dense than Jupiter and may glow white or blue. NASA’s Webb Telescope is next up to decode their makeup, while scientists theorize they formed from gas disks and shed mass over time. With fewer than 40 known super-puffs among 6,300 confirmed exoplanets, these fluffy giants are a cosmic oddity—and proof the universe still holds surprises.
