Meet WASP-141 b, a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-141 discovered back in 2016 using the transit method with the SuperWASP-South facility and its trusty iKon-L CCD Camera. This distant world loves to make a grand entrance by dimming its star’s light as it passes in front, helping astronomers spot its presence from our vantage point on Earth. WASP-141 b is a gas giant that hugs its star closely, soaking up intense stellar rays that make it an ultra-toasty place, far from any icy comforts. While we don’t have an exact address for WASP-141 b, its discovery adds another exciting chapter to the story of exoplanets zipping around stars beyond our solar system, revealing the diverse and dynamic universe we call home.
