WASP-168 b is a fascinating exoplanet discovered in 2018 by the SuperWASP-South team using the transit method, which involves catching the tiny dips in starlight as the planet passes in front of its host star, WASP-168. This giant world orbits its star closely, soaking up stellar rays and giving us a glimpse into the life of a hot Jupiter. Equipped with the keen eye of the iKon-L CCD Camera, astronomers from the ground captured this cosmic dance, adding another intriguing member to the diverse family of exoplanets. Though it doesn’t yet have a flashy proper name, WASP-168 b’s discovery enriches our understanding of distant worlds swirling around faraway stars, reminding us how vast and varied the universe truly is.
