This illustration depicts the Sun-like star TOI-791 and two giant planets that NASA’s TESS space telescope discovered in its orbit. These planets, designated TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c, are roughly the size of Jupiter but a tiny fraction of its mass, meaning they have an extraordinarily low density.  NASA / Daniel Rutter Data from NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission hasContinue Reading
