WASP-123 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-123, discovered back in 2016 thanks to the keen eyes of the SuperWASP survey using the trusty iKon-L CCD Camera. This gas giant is a classic example of a "transit" planet, meaning it was found as it regularly passes in front of its host star, causing a tiny dip in brightness that gave it away. Picture a world where the skies are perpetually heated and clouds swirl in exotic, alien storms. Though it's far from home — light-years away in a distant corner of the galaxy — WASP-123 b sparks our imagination about the diverse planetary systems out there, reminding us how much fun exploring exoplanets can be!
