WASP-11 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-11, discovered back in 2008 using the transit method with the SuperWASP project on Earth. This exoplanet is a gas giant that spends its days roasting close to its star, creating an environment far too toasty for Earth-like life. Imagine a world where the skies might glow with intense heat and strong winds whip through its thick atmosphere. Although it’s many light-years away and invisible to the naked eye, WASP-11 b offers scientists a fascinating glimpse into the family of giant planets beyond our solar system. Its discovery using the iKon-L CCD Camera was a neat reminder of how advanced telescopes help us find distant worlds right from the ground.
