Astronomers Discover Two Ultra-Lightweight Giant Planets

Astronomers have discovered two giant planets so light they're less dense than cotton candy. Each is about the size of Jupiter but with much less mass, making them some of the fluffiest worlds ever found. They orbit the same distant star and even influence each other's orbits. It's fascinating to think about how such lightweight planets form and what they might be like up close.
