Astronomers have discovered a new Jupiter-sized exoplanet that possesses less than one-third of the mass of the solar system's largest planet, giving it a density similar to a marshmallow. The team ...

Scientists have discovered a planet that they said could float in a bathtub if you could get one large enough. The planet is about 580 light-years away from us and is orbiting a red dwarf star in the ...

Astronomers have discovered a new planetary oddball beyond the solar system that is as fluffy and light as cotton candy. The extrasolar planet or "exoplanet" named WASP-193 b is around 1.5 times the ...

Astronomers have discovered a gas giant planet with the density of a marshmallow orbiting a cool red dwarf star located 580 light-years from Earth. The Jupiter-like exoplanet is the lowest-density ...

An international team led by researchers from the EXOTIC Laboratory of the University of Liège, in collaboration with MIT and the Astrophysics Institute in Andalusia, has just discovered WASP-193b, an ...

Researchers discovered a huge planet 1,200 light years from Earth with a density comparable to that of cotton candy, scientists said Monday. WASP-193b is an exoplanet, which means it's located outside ...

Two tightly packed families of exoplanets are pushing the boundaries of what a planetary system can look like. New studies of the makeup of worlds orbiting two different stars show a wide range of ...

Astronomers at the Kitt Peak National Observatory have spotted a peculiar gas giant exoplanet some 580 light-years away with the density of a marshmallow. And as it turns out, it may be the lowest ...
