Astronomers discover an inflated ‘hot Jupiter’
Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered a new inflated, low-density “hot Jupiter” exoplanet. The newly found alien world, designated TIC 257060897b, is about 50 percent larger than Jupiter, but some 30 percent less massive than the solar system’s biggest planet. The finding is detailed in a paper published October 1 on arXiv.org.
