In the vast expanse of the universe, there lies a peculiar anomaly within the realm of exoplanetary science. Despite the discovery and cataloging of over 5,000 exoplanets by various space agencies, a noticeable absence of exoplanets with diameters between 1.5 and two times that of Earth has puzzled scientists. A recent study utilizing data from the retired Kepler Space Telescope offers an intriguing explanation for this size gap, suggesting a process where the cores of these planets might be expelling their atmospheres from the inside.
