WASP-142 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet that orbits its star, WASP-142, with the enthusiasm of a cosmic dance partner. Discovered in 2016 using the trusty transit method by the SuperWASP-South team, this giant world was spotted thanks to the keen eye of the iKon-L CCD Camera. Unlike our cool and cozy Jupiter, WASP-142 b is a close-in planet, hugging its star much tighter and basking in intense stellar heat. While it hasn’t yet earned a proper name from the International Astronomical Union, WASP-142 b stands out as a fascinating example of these scorching gas giants that challenge our understanding of planetary systems. Its discovery continues to inspire astronomers hunting the skies for more exotic worlds.
