HIP 65 A b is a fascinating exoplanet discovered in 2020 orbiting the star HIP 65 A. This distant world was spotted by the space-based Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) thanks to its clever CCD Array, which watches for the tiny dips in starlight when planets pass in front of their stars. HIP 65 A b is one of those cosmic travelers that loves to transit, giving astronomers a front-row seat to its stellar shadow play. While we don’t have a catchy proper name yet, HIP 65 A b continues to intrigue with its mysterious nature far beyond our solar system. It’s a shiny example of what space telescopes can reveal—planets that twinkle into our view from the vastness of the galaxy!
