Scientists say newfound 'strange' exoplanet may be a gas giant that lost its gas

Researches have discovered a "strange" distant planet which appears to be the remnant core of a gas giant which lost the gas that once surrounded it. The "TOI-849b", 40 times denser than Earth but the size of Neptune, orbits its star "scorchingly close". At such a density, 'TOI-849b' should have otherwise "gobbled up" enough material to be of Jupiter's size.
