WASP-60 b, playfully dubbed Vlasina, is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting the star WASP-60, discovered back in 2012 by the SuperWASP team using the transit method. This celestial charmer was spotted through subtle dips in its star’s brightness, captured crisply by the iKon-L CCD Camera. Vlasina is a gas giant with a close-in orbit, making it a prime example of a scorched exoplanet where temperatures soar and atmospheric winds likely race around its bloated atmosphere. Though it's far beyond our reach, this distant world captivates astronomers’ imaginations as a fiery planet on the edge of a vast and mysterious galaxy, showcasing the diverse and dynamic nature of planets beyond our solar system.
