Meet Viculus, officially known as WASP-32 b, a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-32. Discovered in 2010 by the keen-eyed SuperWASP team using the transit method, this exoplanet is a giant world that swings close to its star, making for a toasty environment unlike anything in our solar system. Viculus was spotted with the help of the iKon-L CCD Camera, a tool that helped astronomers catch the slight dimming of its star as this giant planet passed in front. While we don’t have a specific distance from Earth to share, Viculus’s discovery from ground-based observatories reminds us that exciting worlds await even beyond our direct view. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the wild diversity of planets populating our galaxy!
