Get ready to meet HATS-72 b, a sizzling hot giant planet that orbits its star HATS-72 like a cosmic dance partner discovered in 2020! Thanks to the keen eyes of the HATSouth survey using a snazzy Apogee 4K CCD Sensor, this world was spotted as it playfully transited its star, causing a tiny dip in brightness that astronomers love to catch. While a bit of a stranger far from Earth, HATS-72 b is the kind of planet that makes you imagine skies filled with blazing suns and winds sweeping across its fiery atmosphere. Not your everyday stroll in space, this gas giant is a reminder of the wild variety planets can have in our galaxy!
