Discovery of remarkably low density exoplanet TOI 1420 b

Star system: TOI 1420 | Distance from the Sun: 664 light years

Astronomers led by Stephanie Yoshida announced discovery of a new super-puff exoplanet. It orbits a Sun-like star TOI 1420 once in every 7 days. With 12 Earth radii and 25 Earth masses it has only 1 % of Earths density.
