Unique pair of ‘super-puff’ planets with densities below candy floss discovered by astronomers

Astronomers have stumbled upon a fascinating pair of "super-puff" planets that hold the record for the lowest densities ever detected in giant planets. These unusual celestial bodies are so light that they could float in a bowl of candy floss. This discovery is significant as it challenges existing models of planetary formation and evolution, offering new insights into how such low-density planets could form and survive in the cosmos. The findings could reshape our understanding of planet types and their characteristics.
