Meet Hiisi, officially known as HAT-P-38 b, a charming exoplanet orbiting the star HAT-P-38. Discovered back in 2012 through the transit method using a trusty 2K CCD sensor at the HATNet facility, Hiisi is a fascinating world that captures the imagination. This gas giant types itself as a cosmic wanderer, orbiting its host star and periodically crossing in front of it, giving astronomers a peek into its secrets. While it’s far enough from Earth to remain a mysterious, twinkling point in the vast night sky, Hiisi invites us to dream about the diversity of planets that exist beyond our solar system. It’s a delightful example of how much there is to explore in the cosmic neighborhood!
