WASP-187 b is a sizzling hot giant orbiting the star WASP-187, discovered in 2020 using the clever transit method by the SuperWASP team with their trusty iKon-L CCD camera. This planet is a true cosmic toaster, circling so close to its star that it probably fries any ideas of a cozy atmosphere. While it doesn't have an official nickname yet, WASP-187 b makes up for it with dramatic day-night temperature swings and a swift, tight orbit that completes cozy laps faster than you can say "exoplanet adventure." Though we don’t have its exact distance from Earth handy, this fiery world remains a fascinating target for astronomers exploring the extremes of planetary weather and star-planet interactions. It’s a stellar hot spot for curious space travelers and science alike!
