WASP-23 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-23, discovered back in 2010 thanks to the clever use of the transit method with the SuperWASP project. This planetary heavyweight spends its days remarkably close to its host star, making it a true scorcher compared to our much cooler Jupiter. Discovered from the ground with the help of the iKon-L CCD Camera, WASP-23 b’s swift orbit causes it to wink regularly in front of its star, a cosmic tease that helped astronomers spot it from afar. While it’s tucked too far away to be a direct vacation hotspot, this charming exoplanet offers a fascinating glimpse into the diversity of worlds lurking beyond our solar system, where giant gas planets dance in fiery embrace with their suns.
