Meet WASP-118 b, a sizzling hot Jupiter discovered back in 2016 by the clever eyes of the SuperWASP project using the trusty iKon-L CCD Camera. This distant world orbits its star, WASP-118, in a tight cosmic dance, making it a swift traveler around its sun compared to our own Jupiter’s leisurely journey. Detected through the clever transit method, astronomers spotted this giant planet as it charmingly winked through the star’s light. While it’s quite a ways from Earth, WASP-118 b stands out as a fascinating example of a gas giant baking close to its star, with temperatures that would make even the toughest space explorers sweat. A spicy giant on the exoplanetary menu, it reminds us how diverse and exciting our galaxy really is!
