WASP-103 b is an extraordinary hot Jupiter that orbits the star WASP-103, discovered in 2014 through the diligent observations of the SuperWASP project using the iKon-L CCD Camera. This exoplanet sizzles incredibly close to its star, so close that its shape is famously distorted by the star’s intense gravity, making it look almost like a cosmic teardrop! While it's way too scorching to enjoy a vacation, its extreme conditions provide invaluable insights into planetary physics and star-planet interactions. This speedy world zips around its star in no time at all, completing an orbit much faster than Earth’s leisurely year. WASP-103 b stands as a thrilling example of the wild diversity in our galaxy’s planetary family!
