WASP-151 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet orbiting the star WASP-151, discovered in 2017 using the transit method by the SuperWASP-South survey. Imagine a world where the sky is perpetually twilight, as this gas giant hugs its host star much closer than Mercury does to our Sun, making it scorchingly warm and inhospitable for life as we know it. While it lacks a flashy proper name, WASP-151 b stands out as a fascinating example of a “hot Jupiter” — a type of planet that teaches us about planetary systems beyond our own. Thanks to the iKon-L CCD Camera, this planet’s discovery added another piece to the cosmic puzzle, revealing the diversity of worlds orbiting distant stars.
