Scientists Find Jupiter-Sized Planets Lighter Than Cotton Candy
Astronomers discovered two giant exoplanets with densities lower than cotton candy, making them the lightest known planets of their size.

'Forbidden Planet' The Size Of Jupiter That Shouldn't Exist In Theory Baffles Scientists
TOI 5205b is called a 'forbidden planet' as it defies current astronomical theories about planetary formation.

"Fluffiest Planet Ever": Scientists Discover "Marshmallow World" In Deep Space
Scientists are finding all sorts of weird worlds. They've now discovered a gas giant planet with the density of a marshmallow orbiting a cool red dwarf star located 580 light years from Earth. The planet, identified as TOI-3757 b, is the "fluffiest".

Earth's Nearest Known "Baby Giant Planet" Discovered
Scientists from Rochester Institute of Technology have discovered a newborn massive planet closer to Earth than any other of similarly young age found to date.

Saturn's Rings Are Already Halfway To Their Death
If dinosaurs had possessed telescopes and the will to gaze skyward 100 million years ago, they might have seen a very different Saturn - one without its iconic rings. And if humans manage to survive another 100 million years, our descendants may also miss the discs of ice and dust that encircle the golden gas giant.

Conditions Deep Inside Giant Planets Recreated in Laboratory
In what could lead to better understanding of how giant planets form, researchers have experimentally recreated the conditions that exist deep inside giant planets, such as Jupiter, Uranus and many other planets recently discovered outside the solar system.
