Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a massive exoplanet dubbed WASP-193b, located approximately 1,200 light years away from Earth. This unique planet, which is 50% larger than Jupiter, has a density comparable to that of cotton candy, making it an anomaly among the over 5,000 exoplanets identified so far. Despite its large size, WASP-193b is seven times less massive than Jupiter due to its incredibly low density. The planet orbits a star similar to our Sun every 6.25 days and is believed to be predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium, resulting in a significantly inflated atmosphere.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have made a groundbreaking discovery about the water loss on Venus that could change our understanding of the planet’s history. According to a study published in the journal Nature on May 6, the team found that Venus loses about twice as much water every day than previously estimated. Using computer simulations, the researchers determined that a process called “dissociative recombination” is responsible for the increased water loss on Venus. This finding sheds light on why Venus, once considered similar to Earth, is now extremely dry with 100,000 times less water despite its comparable…
