WASP-172 b is a charming hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-172, discovered back in 2018 thanks to the keen observations of the SuperWASP-South team using their trusty iKon-L CCD Camera. This exoplanet likes to keep things cozy, circling very close to its host star, which means it’s a sizzling world of blazing temperatures and glowing skies. Though relatively far from Earth, WASP-172 b is an exciting example of a gas giant caught in the act of passing in front of its star—what astronomers call the 'transit' method—letting us peek at its secrets from light-years away. It’s a perfect cosmic postcard from a star system that’s both mysterious and wonderfully bright in our universe!
