Meet WASP-47 c, a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star WASP-47, discovered back in 2015. This intriguing world was spotted using the clever radial velocity technique with the CORALIE Spectrograph at the La Silla Observatory on Earth. Unlike some flashy planets discovered by transit methods, WASP-47 c reveals itself through subtle wobbles in its star’s motion, like a cosmic dance partner leaving clues in the starlight. Its presence adds to the excitement of the WASP-47 system, which is already known for hosting a variety of intriguing planets. While we might not have a proper name for WASP-47 c yet, its discovery reminds us how much there is to uncover in our galaxy’s vast neighborhood. Keep looking up—space is full of surprises!
