WASP-107b: A Super-Puffy Super-Neptune - 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. With a mass in the Neptune regime and a radius of Jupiter, WASP-107b is one of the lowest density exoplanets and presents a challenge to planet formation theories.
