Astronomers have uncovered WASP-193b, a planet with Jupiter's size but an astonishingly low density akin to cotton candy. Situated 1,200 light-years away, its discovery challenges planetary science, orbiting its sun-like star in just a few Earth days. This anomaly defies conventional understanding, prompting questions about planetary formation and evolution. Led by Khalid Barkaoui, international astronomers plan to probe further with the James Webb Space Telescope, seeking to unravel the mysteries of this extraordinary celestial puff.
