WASP-195 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-195, discovered in 2025 thanks to the diligent eyes of the SuperWASP project using its trusty e2v CCD Camera. This gas giant is the kind of planet you wouldn’t want to visit without a serious heat shield, as it hugs its star closely, completing an orbit faster than you can say “transit method.” While it doesn’t have an IAU proper name yet, WASP-195 b is a shining example of the many intriguing worlds lurking just beyond our solar system. Its discovery from Earth-based observations showcases how even from our home planet, astronomers can unveil distant planetary neighbors in the immense cosmic neighborhood.
