Red-Giant Stars Host Two 'Hot Jupiters' in Astonishing Astronomical Find

Astronomers using NASA's TESS have discovered two new "hot Jupiter" exoplanets, TOI-4377 b and TOI-4551 b, orbiting red-giant stars. These giant alien worlds have short orbital periods and high surface temperatures, similar to Jupiter. The findings contribute to the understanding of short-period giant planets around red-giant stars, which are relatively rare.
