Gas giant exoplanet WASP-69b, located 160 light-years away from Earth, has recently caught the attention of astronomers due to its remarkable tail of gas. This tail, which is seven times longer than the planet itself, is created as the planet’s atmosphere gets stripped away. The researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have
