WASP-174 b is a sizzling hot exoplanet that dances closely around its star, WASP-174, discovered in 2018 by the SuperWASP-South project using the transit method. This fiery world was spotted through the precise eye of the iKon-L CCD Camera, capturing the moment it elegantly passes in front of its bright host star. Orbiting so near to WASP-174, the planet experiences intense stellar heat, making it a scorcher of a place! While it may be impossibly hot and inhospitable for life as we know it, WASP-174 b offers astronomers a fascinating glimpse into the extremes of planetary systems beyond our own. Its discovery reflects the amazing capability of ground-based telescopes in uncovering distant, exotic planets in our galaxy.
