Cotton candy is probably the last thing that comes to mind when one thinks of exoplanets. But the three giant worlds orbiting the Kepler 51 star system, about 2,600 light-years away from Earth, are so "light and fluffy" that they warrant a comparison to the beloved spun-sugar confection.

          That is super cool! I wish they never lost the cotton candy look, but I guess there will be more in their place.

              A very nice article. I give it a 10/10 because of how amazing it taught me about the planets. I am a professor at Harvard and this is Harvard level stuff.
