NGTS-15 b is a sizzling hot exoplanet discovered in 2021 by the clever eyes of the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) using its high-powered CCD array right here on Earth. This faraway world orbits its star, NGTS-15, with a fiery embrace, making it a prime example of a "hot Jupiter" — a gas giant that’s more at home roasting close to its sun than wandering in the cold depths of space. While we don’t have a snazzy proper name for it yet, NGTS-15 b’s discovery showcases the incredible power of ground-based telescopes hunting for tiny dips in starlight as planets transit their stars. It’s a sizzling spotlight on the frontier of exoplanet exploration!
