KELT-14 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter that orbits very close to its star, KELT-14, making it a prime example of a gas giant living life in the fast lane. Discovered in 2016 using the trusty transit method, this planet was spotted by the KELT-South team with their Apogee 4K CCD Sensor, peering from the ground to catch the tiny dip in starlight as KELT-14 b passed in front. Imagine a world so close to its star that it’s probably roasting on one side, with a fiery atmosphere and skies that would put any sunset on Earth to shame. Though far from home, its blistering charm and stellar birth story make KELT-14 b a fascinating stop on the exoplanet tour!
