WASP-37 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter-sized planet orbiting the star WASP-37, located far beyond our solar system. Discovered in 2010 using the clever transit method by the SuperWASP project, this distant world makes a swift orbit around its sun, causing little dips in brightness that revealed its presence. Picture a gas giant much bigger than Earth but hugging its star closely, baking under intense stellar radiation. Traveling there would be quite the adventure—though it’s way too hot for a leisurely stroll! Thanks to the sharp eye of the iKon-L CCD Camera on the ground, astronomers continue to study WASP-37 b, unraveling secrets about how giant planets live and evolve in the cosmic neighborhood beyond our own.
