WASP-162 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter-like exoplanet orbiting the bright star WASP-162, discovered back in 2018 by the clever folks using the SuperWASP-South project and their trusty iKon-L CCD camera. This world isn’t for the faint-hearted—it’s a gas giant that whizzes extremely close to its star, making it scorchingly hot and probably not the best vacation spot for your beach plans. Found using the transit method, astronomers spotted it as it passed in front of its host star, casting a tiny shadow that told them a big story. While we don’t have a fancy proper name for WASP-162 b yet, it already shines as a fascinating chapter in our quest to understand the vast variety of planets beyond our solar system.
