WASP-170 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-170, discovered back in 2018 thanks to the clever eyes of the SuperWASP-South survey using a nifty iKon-L CCD Camera. This planet loves to play hide-and-seek, revealing its presence by dimming its star's light during a transit. As a gas giant, it’s a massive ball of swirling clouds and intense heat, orbiting very close to its host star, making it far from a chilly place. While it's a bit too far from Earth to spot with backyard telescopes, WASP-170 b offers astronomers a fascinating glimpse into the extreme weather and atmospheres of distant worlds. It's a fiery dance partner in the cosmic ballet of the galaxy!
