While brand new discoveries are being made in space with the evolving technology, a new announcement came from the scientists today. Scientists shared that in the research they published in recent weeks, the least dense exoplanet has been discovered yet.

The new planet, named TOI-3757b, is made up of gas and orbits a red dwarf star in the constellation Auriga, located 580 light-years from Earth. Planet developed for NASA’s Explorer programTransiting Exoplanet Survet Satellite (TESS)‘ was discovered with the telescope.

It has hundreds of times less mass than Jupiter:

Data obtained by the telescope revealed that the exoplanet could be even larger than Jupiter. The planet’s density was measured by gravity in the light reflected from its star. Mass of planet greater than Jupiter It was 85 times larger than Earth. On the other hand, Jupiter has 318 times more mass than Earth.

According to this data, the planet had a mass of only 0.27 grams per square centimeter. In addition, the planet is so bright that it is not yet known how the planet could form even close to its star. The planet simply makes every revolution around its star. It is completed in 3.43 days.
