The newly discovered world HAT-P-1 has baffled astronomers, since it is puffed up much larger than theory predicts. HAT-P-1 has a radius about 1.38 times Jupiter's but contains only half Jupiter's mass.

Thanks for the topic and graphics. "a radius about 1.38 times Jupiter's but contains only half Jupiter's mass" means that somethin's up with HAT-P-1 and/or its discoverers. ;')
