WASP-185 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-185, discovered back in 2019 by the diligent folks using the WASP-South facility. This celestial heavyweight keeps close company with its star, whipping around it like a speedy dancer caught in a fast-paced orbit. Thanks to the sharp eyes of the iKon-L CCD Camera, scientists spotted this planet as it gracefully transited its star, causing a tiny but telling dip in brightness. While it’s quite a ways from Earth, out in the depths of our galaxy, WASP-185 b’s blazing atmosphere and tight orbit make it a fascinating world to dream about—like a cosmic hot tub where temperatures could melt your space boots!
