WASP-135 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter that orbits its star, WASP-135, with a fiery passion discovered back in 2015 by the SuperWASP team using the trusty transit method. Imagine a world so close to its star that it’s practically a cosmic hot tub, roasting under the intense stellar rays. This gas giant is a true celebrity in the exoplanet community, spotted from Earth with the sharp eye of the iKon-L CCD camera. Unlike the peaceful giants in our Solar System, WASP-135 b is a speedy planet, completing its orbit in a flash. While it doesn’t have a fancy proper name just yet, its discovery adds another sparkling chapter to the exciting story of planets beyond our solar neighborhood.
