Fifth-graders making styrofoam solar system models may have the right idea. Researchers at Lehigh University have discovered a new planet orbiting a star 320 light years from Earth that has the ...

A newly discovered exoplanet with the puffy density of styrofoam may become a testing ground for learning to analyze atmospheres of far-flung planets for signs of life. KELT-11B, called an exoplanet ...

NASA’s dedicated exoplanet hunter, the Kepler space telescope, has turned up five new planets. One of the planets is bigger than Jupiter but as light as styrofoam, and the findings only get crazier.

Maybe elementary school students were on to something when they used Styrofoam spheres to create replicas of the solar system. A new planet — discovered by a worldwide team of astronomers led by ...

Since the largest exoplanets are the easiest to spot and study, it makes sense that distant worlds with large "puffy" atmospheres would provide the best and most abundant information about the ...

If the Stay Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters were a planet, it would probably be the newly discovered super gas giant, KELT 11b. The highly inflated planet is located some 320 light years away ...
