WASP-133 b is a charming hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-133, discovered back in 2016 by the SuperWASP-South team using a nifty transit method. This gas giant likes to hug its star closely, making for some seriously toasty days on its surface. Thanks to the keen eyes of the iKon-L CCD Camera, astronomers spotted this sizzling world as it passed in front of its star, creating tiny dips in brightness that told the tale of its existence. While it’s far enough away to keep us safely curious, WASP-133 b’s discovery adds another juicy chapter to the story of distant planetary systems, reminding us just how diverse and exciting the universe's planetary family can be!
