A young star called V1298 Tau is giving astronomers a front-row seat to the birth of the galaxy’s most common planets. Four ...

Four planets orbiting a newly born star in our galaxy are so light that they have the density of polystyrene, and could provide a key missing link in helping us understand how the most common ...

Do you know which planet could float in a giant bathtub? Discover the science behind its low density, its hundreds of moons, and its famous rings.

An unusual planetary system with three known ultra-low density 'super-puff' planets has at least one more planet, according to new observations. An unusual planetary system with three known ultra-low ...

Measurements of the masses of exoplanets orbiting a young star have identified a system of low-density ‘super-puff’ planets. Read the paper: A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in ...

A young planet named HIP 67522 b is one of the lowest-density worlds ever spotted 1. The giant gas planet, which was discovered several years ago, is about the size of Jupiter and whizzes around its ...

Since astronomers found that there were planets around other stars, there has been a big effort to locate these exoplanets and learning what we can about them. These planets are, after all, where life ...
