HAT-P-69 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter discovered back in 2019, orbiting its star HAT-P-69 with a close and cozy embrace. This giant gas planet was found using the transit method, where it gracefully dims its star’s light just enough for our instruments to catch—a bit like a cosmic game of peekaboo! Discovered from the ground using a trusty 2K CCD sensor at the HATNet facility, HAT-P-69 b offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse family of exoplanets populating our galaxy. While it may not have a fancy proper name yet, HAT-P-69 b’s blazing nature and star-hugging orbit make it a thrilling spotlight in the ongoing adventure of exploring worlds beyond our own.
