Sub-Neptune HD 119130 b previously believed to be ultra-dense is much lighter

Star system: HD 119130 | Distance from the Sun: 370 light years

Sub-Neptune HD 119130 b was once believed to be ultra-dense. New data however show a much lower mass of about 9 Earths instead of previous estimated of 24.5 Earths, making it much less dense.
