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.

        anyone read Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? Seems like something that would be in one of the books. Also, guys, it's NOT actually cotton it has the density of cotton candy.
