• WASP 107b was discovered in 2017 by a team of astronomers led by D.R. Anderson using the Wide Area Search for Planets South (WASP-South) telescope.
  • With its puffy atmosphere, WASP-107 b is one of the least dense planets known. New Webb data may have solved the mystery of its floofiness.
  • Two iconic space telescopes have shed light on why a planet dwelling around another star is “puffy.” This exoplanet , called WASP-107 b, is giant and full of gas.
  • WASP-107b is a super-Neptune exoplanet that orbits the star WASP-107. It lies 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo.[3] Its discovery was...
  • This artist's illustration shows what exoplanet WASP 107b could look like based on new
    • Exoplanet WASP 107b is a gas giant that's nearly as big as Jupiter, but far less massive.
    • Based on this discrepancy, astronomers didn't know how a planet like WASP 107b could...
  • The observations also revealed that not only WASP-107b orbiting the star WASP-107 – it was joined by another planet called WASP-107c.
  • Exoplanet WASP-107b is one of the lowest density planets known. While the planet is about the same size as Jupiter, it has only 12 percent of Jupiter’s mass.
  • WASP-107 b is a “warm Neptune” exoplanet orbiting a relatively small and cool star approximately 210 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Virgo.
