Astronomers stunned by Jupiter-sized planets lighter than candyfloss

Carl Lindemann, Outreach Coordinator for the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (Cape section), speaks to John Maytham about the discovery of two Jupiter-sized “superpuff” exoplanets that are so low in density they’ve been described as “lighter than candyfloss.” The discussion explores what makes these planets so unusual, how they challenge current models of planetary formation, and what they could reveal about the evolution of giant worlds across the galaxy.
