Cotton Candy Planet

WASP-193b, a giant planet with a density similar to that of cotton candy

This exoplanet is larger but seven times less massive than Jupiter and is the second least dense planet discovered to date. Astronomers have just discovered WASP-193b, an extraordinarily low-density giant planet orbiting a distant Sun-like star.

This just made me smile.

Sounds like need a SciFi story about giant space dwelling creatures that eat planets. The momma creatures warn the baby creatures exactly that.

Yes ...

It sounded like a good SF setting to me too.

Now I'm wondering what it tastes like! LOL

I've seen people make sculptures from cotton candy. It'd be fun to make a planet that way.
