WASP-49 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-49, discovered back in 2012 thanks to the clever transit technique using the SuperWASP observatory’s iKon-L CCD camera. This fiery world is a gas giant that hugs its host star much more closely than our own Jupiter does to the Sun, making for some seriously scorching days and a twilight world of constant heat. Located hundreds of light-years away, WASP-49 b’s atmosphere is a roiling cauldron where exotic chemistry brews under intense stellar radiation. It’s a favorite find for astronomers wanting to understand the extremes of planetary atmospheres and the wild diversity of worlds beyond our solar system—definitely no place to pack a picnic, but fascinating to imagine!
