HATS-68 b is a sizzling hot giant planet that orbits the star HATS-68, discovered back in 2018 by the clever eyes of the HATSouth network using a transit method from the ground. Picture this: a massive world snuggling so close to its star that it’s likely a glowing inferno, where days are scorchers and nights don’t offer much cool relief. Thanks to the trusty Apogee 4K CCD Sensor, astronomers caught this cosmic dance as the planet casually crossed in front of its star, dimming its light just a tad. While we don't have a charming nickname for HATS-68 b yet, it firmly ranks among the crowd of fascinating exoplanets revealing the diverse and dazzling variety of worlds beyond our solar system.
