WASP-43 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-43, discovered back in 2011 by the SuperWASP team using a nifty transit method that spots planets by watching their stars dim just a bit. This fiery giant is so close to its star that it completes an orbit in less than two Earth days, making it one of the speediest dancers in the cosmic ballroom. With such a tight embrace, WASP-43 b is a blazing world where temperatures skyrocket, likely roasting any atmosphere it tries to hold on to. Observations from the ground with the iKon-L CCD camera helped uncover this intriguing exoplanet, adding a spicy new chapter to our understanding of extreme worlds beyond our solar system.
