Two Fluffy Giants Defy Gravity

Two newly discovered giant planets, lighter than cotton candy, defy expectations by being about the size of Jupiter but astonishingly low in density. Orbiting a star 1,110 light-years away in the southern constellation Volans, these super-fluffy worlds are likely made of hydrogen and helium, possibly appearing white or blue depending on cloud cover. Detected by NASA’s Tess satellite and confirmed with ground-based telescopes, they’re among the rarest exoplanets known — fewer than 40 out of nearly 6,300 confirmed. Scientists plan to use the James Webb Space Telescope to unravel their chemical secrets, offering clues about planetary formation and our cosmic place.
