WASP-194 b is a sizzling hot gas giant that orbits the star WASP-194, discovered in 2025 thanks to the sharp eyes of the SuperWASP survey using a nifty e2v CCD Camera on the ground. This exoplanet is a classic example of a "hot Jupiter," hugging its star so closely that it likely experiences scorching temperatures and swift, turbulent winds. While it doesn’t have a fancy proper name yet, WASP-194 b thrills astronomers and stargazers alike with its dramatic transit across its star, which helped reveal its existence. Floating somewhere out there in the cosmic neighborhood beyond our solar system, this planet invites curiosity about what it would be like to soar above its thick, glowing clouds — a truly steamy world that’s a fiery beacon in the quest to explore distant planetary systems.
