WASP-100 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-100, discovered back in 2014 by the SuperWASP team using the transit method. Imagine a planet so close to its star that it completes an orbit in just a few days, making it a fiery world where days are scorchingly long and nights barely cool down. This distant exoplanet was spotted using a ground-based telescope equipped with the iKon-L CCD Camera, showcasing how even Earth-bound eyes can catch a glimpse of otherworldly wonders. Though it doesn’t have a fancy proper name yet, WASP-100 b earns its place in the cosmic lineup as a bold example of a gas giant living life in the fast—and hot—lane, far beyond our solar system.
