Meet Isli, officially known as WASP-161 b, a sizzling hot Jupiter discovered in 2018. Orbiting the star WASP-161 far beyond our solar system, Isli was spotted using the transit method by the SuperWASP-South team, thanks to the sharp eyes of the iKon-L CCD Camera. This gas giant is a fiery world, boasting blazing temperatures that make it no place for humans to visit—unless you’re into extreme heat and spectacular sunsets! While it spins closely around its star, Isli offers astronomers a dazzling glimpse into the lives of distant planets. Its discovery adds to our cosmic neighborhood’s colorful diversity, inviting space enthusiasts to dream about worlds unlike anything on Earth.
