HATS-33 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star HATS-33, discovered in 2016 by the HATSouth survey using the transit method. This planet makes its presence known by periodically passing in front of its star, causing tiny dips in starlight that ground-based telescopes, equipped with the Apogee 4K CCD Sensor, can detect. HATS-33 b is a gas giant with a tight orbit, meaning it’s likely a world of blazing skies and intense stellar heat—think of a pizza oven in space! While the exact distance from Earth remains shy of the spotlight, this planet adds another exciting chapter to our growing catalogue of alien worlds, inviting us to imagine what stormy and turbulent conditions might reign on this distant, celestial companion.
