Pair of ‘super-puff’ planets are lighter than candy floss

Astronomers have discovered two gas giant planets orbiting the same star, TOI-791, which are among the least dense planets ever observed. These planets, roughly the size of Jupiter but over 20 times less massive, exhibit extreme low density, suggesting unusual atmospheric properties or formation mechanisms. The findings were published in a scientific journal and highlight ongoing research into exoplanet characteristics.
