Discovery of two warm planets smaller than Saturn orbiting solar-type stars
Star system: TOI 883 | Distance from the Sun: 334 light years
Researchers have discovered two new gas giant planets, TOI-883 b and TOI-899 b, which are similar in mass to a 'light' Saturn. These 'warm' giants orbit stars very much like our own Sun with orbital periods of approximately 10 and 11 days. 

Despite their similar sizes and environments, the two planets appear to have different internal compositions. This suggests they may have followed different evolutionary paths, providing a unique opportunity for scientists to study how planets in the Neptune-to-Saturn mass range form and change over time.
