WASP-113 b is a jovial hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-113, discovered in 2016 by the SuperWASP-North survey using a clever transit method that catches planets crossing their stars like tiny cosmic shadows. This gas giant sizzles close to its sun, boasting a bloated atmosphere that would amaze any space traveler hoping for a calm getaway. Found from the comfort of Earth using the Andor e2v CCD Camera, WASP-113 b's discovery helps us understand the wild variety of planets beyond our solar system. While it might not have a catchy proper name yet, this exoplanet reminds us just how lively and diverse our galaxy’s planetary family can be!
