TOI-1994 b is a sizzling world discovered in 2024 courtesy of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, which spotted this hot planet as it danced across its star, TOI-1994. This exoplanet orbits so close to its star that it's likely a blazing hot gas giant, bathing in stellar radiation much like a solar sauna. Think of it as a cosmic hot tub, where temperatures soar and atmospheres sizzle under the glow of its host star. While we don't have a fanciful nickname for TOI-1994 b yet, it’s a sparkling new addition to our catalog of alien worlds, found through the clever technique of transit detection—catching the tiny dip in starlight as the planet takes a shy bow in front of its star. A true star of exoplanet exploration!
