Astronomers Discover Giant Exoplanet with Cotton Candy-Like Density

WASP-193b, located 1,200 light-years away, challenges existing planetary formation theories with its extremely low density.

WASP-193b is 50% larger than Jupiter but seven times less massive.
The planet's density is comparable to cotton candy, at 0.059 grams per cubic centimeter.
Researchers believe the planet is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium.
The discovery was made using data from multiple observatories and telescopes.
WASP-193b is an ideal candidate for further study by the James Webb Space Telescope.
