Not all planets have a structure covered with boiling and hard crusts like the Earth on which we live. Even in the solar system, we are neighbors of a gas giant called Jupiter, which will fall short of this expectation. When I say gas giant, these planets are real; actually took the shape of a sphere, of condensed gas clouds They form, and usually the planets in the center of these clouds are much smaller.

Here’s another discovered. This new planet is located 1232 light-years from Earth. WASP-193b code name datum. However, according to preliminary findings, this planet Although it is 50% larger than Jupiter quite light. It is also as hard as 1% of Earth’s density. This allows scientists to note that “it is as soft as cotton candy”.

WASP-193b is nearly the same age and temperature as our star, the Sun, and is very close to its own star. However, there are still many unanswered questions about:

The star around which the planet revolves is 6 billion years old is being considered. It is thought that the gases swelled in the atmosphere and therefore grew larger due to being very close to them and rotating at high speeds. However, scientists have not yet been able to understand the nature of WASP-193b and how it ended up in such a structure, based on the characteristics they observed.

So James Webb Space TelescopeThanks to astronomers’ advanced technologies, astronomers can more accurately unravel the mysteries of this newly discovered planet. Khalid Barkaoui, an academic at the University of Liege who worked on the team that carried out the study, says WASP-193b can provide us with important information about the evolution of planets.
