NGTS-25 b is a sizzling hot exoplanet discovered in 2022 by the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) using a clever technique called the transit method, which spots tiny dips in starlight as the planet glides in front of its host star, NGTS-25. This alien world orbits close to its star, making it a toasty place where temperatures soar—definitely not a vacation spot for Earthlings seeking cozy weather! Thanks to the precise NGTS CCD array on the ground, astronomers can capture its dimming dance from Earth with impressive clarity. While it doesn’t have a fancy proper name yet, NGTS-25 b is part of a thrilling cosmic discovery era, inviting us to imagine the wild and fiery conditions that define life beyond our solar system.
